OCW People's Choice Award Best Video Lectures
Finalist: TU Delft Sanitary EngineeringIt's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. The Netherlands' Delft University of Technology, a renowned expert on solving water problems, has decided to share its expertise in this series of OCW lectures about keeping water clean in an urban environment. TU Delft is an international leader in water management studies, and students and urban planners around the world can benefit from learning its take on topics like drinking water supply and sewage treatment. In addition to providing great content, our voters were impressed with how easy it was to download the videos. One voter praised Delft's 'fast, accessible videos' and raved about how there's 'no delay in downloading.'
