i need a courses on potable water networks and irrigation
netwoks
Excellant, very informative.
Very informative
its nice
hi dear i am hassan and i am a boy
i am a teacher and in search about a pilot for wastewater
treatment
i need some information about taht
introduction on domestic water treatment and watersupply
i am engineer
GOOD LECTURE, PLS SUBTITLES
I will express my sincere appreciation and I honestly liked
the lectures and therefore thank you for this work, you have
shown exhibed your expertise and have done justice to this
TOPIC, please provide subtitles in futures. THANK KEEP THE
