The different treatment methods will be presented as well as the associated processes (physico-chemical, biological, free culture, fixed culture). The biological treatment of effluents, the elimination of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus will be discussed. The principles of sizing processes and systems will also be discussed. The course will follow the following outline:

1. Effluent characterization and treatment principle
2. Which treatment method to choose according to the constraints
3. Pre-treatment sizing
4. Sizing of secondary treatments
5. Sizing of tertiary treatments

This course trains students in microbial identification and water analysis and is structured around 4 axes:

• The microbial world: bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, viruses.
• Microbial metabolism: metabolic types, nutrition, influence of the environment.
• Microbial ecology of the natural environment: interactions of microorganisms with their environments.
• Microbiological control of water: principles, regulations, techniques

This course aims at integrating the students' investigation methodology in order to gather the necessary information for the search of an internship or a job. The teaching is structured around 5 axes:

• Define your Professional Project (PP): which professional fields and sectors, which employers, which jobs? Knowing the job market: sector, qualification, actors (NACE sheet) - Job sheets (ROME) and skills (professional)
• Carry out a Competency Assessment (CA) (already acquired and to be acquired for the PD): know-how
• Conducting an assessment on life skills
• Creating a CV and LM
• Job interview preparation (role play on real job offers)

The aim of the lectures is to present the basic notions to describe, classify and characterize soils: their different constituents (minerals, clays, organic matter, living organisms), their physical properties (granulometry, texture, structure), chemical properties (clay-humus complex, CEC, oxidation-reduction), and biological properties (horizons and humus, root system, plant nutrition, role of bacteria, C/N ratio, pedofauna) We will study the factors of soil formation (climate, bedrock, living organisms, relief, time), the different processes of soil formation and evolution (weathering, humification, leaching, podzolization, pedoturbation, ferrallitization,...), the major soil classification systems, and the distribution of soils in the world. This scientific base will allow us to address current social issues concerning soils in the field of land management: their degradation (erosion, pollution, artificialization, compaction, etc.) and their restoration (depollution, phytoremediation, agroecology).

The field trip will allow to put into practice the notions seen in class.

This UE will be articulated around the following concepts:

1) The watershed (definition, geometric, geological, physiographic characteristics, hydrological behavior)

2) Precipitation (Definition of precipitation, concept of showers and intensity, spatial analysis of point measurement (Thiessen, isohets), temporal analysis of point measurement (return period, Montana)

3) Evapotranspiration (interception, evaporation, transpiration, evapotranspiration, Turc's formulas, Thornthwaite)

4) Infiltration (definition of infiltration capacity, characteristics of the unsaturated zone, concepts of water content, hydraulic conductivity at saturation, water potential, balance of forces and state of water in the soil, factors influencing infiltration and water profiles, Horton's law)

5) Runoff (formation of surface runoff, runoff coefficient, subsurface runoff, table-river relationship, decomposition of flood hydrographs)

6) The water balance (the water cycle and the water balance at different spatial and temporal scales)

7) Hydrometry (principle and technique of measurement + field)

This course focuses on the management of by-products from wastewater treatment systems, organic by-products with a high recovery potential from economic activities (e.g. viticulture) or gaseous by-products produced by industrial systems. For wastewater treatment plant sludge, it is a question of integrating its management into the broader issue of the treatment (or production) chain in order to reduce its source at the base or control its nature. The different ways of recovery are then presented. The sizing of sludge treatment processes is discussed. The course outline is as follows:

1. Characterization of water treatment by-products
2. Treatment methods for WWTP sludge
3. Management and organic valorisation of winegrowing by-products
4. Biogas valorization
5. Management and treatment of gaseous effluents

Without pretending to give an exhaustive list of the laws on the regulatory framework in which waste (municipal and industrial) and the "water resource" are managed, this module aims at exposing the spirit of these laws as well as the philosophy from which they have been thought out. Part of the course will be devoted to identifying the actors in water and waste treatment and the links between them.

CM : 13
