Learning outcome
Knowledge
Student know about:
- Principles for design, construction and operation of urban transport systems for water and wastewater
- Principles of modeling approaches in urban water systems, including calibration and uncertainty assessment of said models.
- Technologies for building, rehabilitation and maintenance of pipe system for water and wastewater
- Principles of condition monitoring and functionality measurements for urban water and wastewater networks.
Skills
Students can:
- Calculate flow and pressure in water distribution network
- Calculate flow in wastewater networks
- Understand the principles of system thinking and risk assessment
General competence
Students know about:
- Challenges and opportunities in urban water and wastewater management
- General principles for cost-efficient management of water and wastewater services
- Techniques for maintenance and rehabilitation of pipe networks
- Modelling and abstraction of systems
Learning methods and activities
Lectures combined with exercises. The lectures and exercises will be given in English.
Further on evaluation
The total grade will depend on the exercises as well as the final exam. 1/3 of the mark will derive from the exercises and 2/3 from the final exam. Both parts have to be approved to pass the course. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
