Key highlights included primary\/secondary treatment processes, biological nutrient removal, and effluent monitoring. Dr. Pathirana demonstrated activated sludge systems, disinfection techniques, and sustainable reuse strategies, linking theory to Sri Lanka&#8217;s urban challenges. Students tested water quality parameters and explored innovations like constructed wetlands, gaining practical insights for conservation and land use planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/1-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"5007\" src=\"https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/1-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/1-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/1-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/1-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/1-3-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/1-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/2-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"5008\" src=\"https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/2-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/2-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/2-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/2-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/2-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/science.sjp.ac.lk\/fes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/2-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2nd-year environmental science students joined with Dr. Chamila Pathirana for a field visit to a wastewater treatment facility.
