Water supply and drainage systems

Recommended Prerequisites

Continuum Mechanics, Hydraulics and Hydrology.

Teaching Methods

Lectures on theoretical aspects, presentation and discussion of examples of practical application, resolution of problems, and autonomous development of a small project of water supply and drainage (by students). Tutorial classes for implementation of the project. The course evaluation consists of the final exam and  implementation of the project.

Learning Outcomes

The objectives of this course are to provide students with knowledge on design and modeling techniques for water supply and sewer and water drainage (Urban Water Cycle) as well as given legislative background.

It is intended that students will be able of an evaluation, analyze and technical economical discussion.

It is intended that, in relation to the topics, students develop skills of independent learning and critical thinking, and analysis and synthesis, focusing on the practical application of theoretical knowledge to enable the resolution of problems.

Work Placement(s)
