Objectives
The students should acquire knowledge in the areas of Water Supply and Wastewater Drainage.
Prerequisites
The curricular unit does not have any formal pre-requisites although students should have knowledge in the fields of pressure flow and free-surface flow. Basic knowledge in the use of CAD software (ex: AutoCad) and use of spreadsheet programs (ex: Excel) e also considered relevant.
Subject matter
General basics of water supply systems, urban and industrial sewage systems and pluvial drainage systems: project horizon, phased project and construction; population eveolution calculation, analitical methods of demographic components; estimation and calculation of capitations and specific consumption; peak factor and reduction factor, sewage flow and hydrology revision (pluvial flow calculations). Water supply system equipments: intake structures in surface and groundwater sources (types, conception and dimensioning); Water transport systems (gravitational and non-gravitational), general conception, design of water mains, technical and economical dimensioning of conduits; conception and dimensioning of elevatory systems (civil construction, equipments and electrical facilities); design and remote operation of water distribution and elevatory systems; water distribution reservatories design; water supply networks design; Drinking Water treatment basics. Sewage water and pluvial water drainage systems; types of systems, conception and dimensioning of conduits and elevatory systems. General notions on sewage water treatment.
