Course content
The topic is primarily meant to provide scientific support and theoretic basis for students that select in-depth studies (project and master thesis) within water and wastewater systems. Topics are selected based on which is expected to be essential for the job situation that students will encounter.These are:
- Stormwater technology, design of normal runoff situations as well as extreme events, stormwater pollution
- Pipe network for water and wastewater, sustainable management, i.e. operation, maintenance and rehabilitation regarding economy, environment and customer service
- Use of models for hydraulic conditions as well as service life analysis of new and existing constructions
- Decision support and risk management approaches for urban water infrastructure under uncertainty
Learning outcome
Knowledge and competence
At the end of the course the students understand the principles for maintenance and management of existing and new urban water systems including green infrastructure and nature based solutions. The students should be able to apply the principles of integrated asset management for the given engineering problems in order to develop suitable solutions in the urban water field.
Skills
At the end of the course the student can develop integrated asset management plans for urban water systems, including green infrastructure and nature based solutions for stormwater management. They can formulate and structure a given problem and apply risk management principles, decision support tools and hydraulic models in order to select suitable solutions and defend their decision in a way that is technical sound, understandable, well presented and documented. They demonstrate the necessary skills in all tools necessary for this task.
General competence
At the end of the course students are able to develop engineering solutions in an analytical and reflected way by critically evaluation of the available information and methods in a complex and unpredicted case.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures will be given on regular basis running in parallell with a group project work will be carried out in the course.
Further on evaluation
Course assessment is done by a 2 hour written exam (60%) and group work (40%).
In case of a re sit exam, written exam may be changed into oral.
Required previous knowledge
TVM4125 Water and wastewater basic course, TVM4130 Urban water systems.
