Schooling of water and wastewater engineers in the Murmansk State Technical University in co-operation with the University of Oulu

The training of sanitary engineers was begun in the Murmansk State Technical University in 1999 in co-operation with the University of Oulu. The University of Oulu helps acquire literature, laboratory equipment and other supplies that are needed during courses. Furthermore, the University of Oulu participates in teaching courses in water supply and sewerage. Vodokanals of the Kola region also teach courses in subject studies, organise summer training positions for the students, and employ students working on their master's theses. Research and development are very important aspects of teaching water supply and sewerage. Vodokanals, on the other hand, have a very urgent need to improve the quality of drinking water. The primary task would be to alter the quality of drinking water enough to reduce corrosion in the piping network. A movable pilot plant that is able to treat 200 to 500 m3 of water a day ought to be constructed for research and teaching purposes.
