Subject matter
General slight knowledge on systems of water supply: captation, pumping, storage and distribution. Mains of quality for supplying water and conventional and alternative conception of the treatment systems and procedural projects. Beddings and predesign of the unit operations of chemical oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation, granular filtration, separation with membranes and disinfection. Examples of treatment systems. Study of cases and visit of study to a water treatment plant (WTP).

Teaching method
The course will develop in two forms: - a theoretical (two-hour weekly) where underlie and discuss different topics proposed in the program; - a practical component where the student learn to identify and solve real problems within UC objectives and also dimension/project unit operations and processes which are on the basis of conventional treatment systems.
Evaluation method
The evaluation is performed by 3 Mini-tests with duration of 50 min (the first two tests) and the second one of 90 min. , to be held outside of class time. The first two mini tests count 33,3% (each) and have no query for the final classification and the last one 33,3%, with query.
The curriculum unit to be completed provides the need of the student be present in at least two-thirds of practical classes, a condition required to obtain frequency.
The classification results from the average of the mini-tests
