Course content

• Hydrodynamics
• Water supply: Drinking water sources, distribution systems
• Waste water: Different types of waste water, sources, collection systems, resipients
• Stormy water

Learning outcome

After completing the course, you will be able to prepare a pre-project for a comprehensive water supply system for a smaller urban settlement. In this, the most emphasis shall be placed on the transport system for supply water and wastewater, as well as challenges related to stormwater.

This means that you must have

• Basic knowledge of water sources, treatment methods for supply water and wastewater as well as treatment of sludge.
• Deeper knowledge of hydraulics and water transportsystems, as well as stormwater management

Furthermore, you must be able to

• explain the societal importance of safe drinking water
• find and evaluate up-to-date knowledge of topics within the subject
• apply digital tools for simulation of different scenarios when preparatory project development
• communicate results to peers
