Learning Outcomes
The student should be able to develop the design of Urban Hydraulics infrastructure, specifically water supply systems and wastewater and stormwater drainage systems.
The course aims to provide the student with knowledge of the main elements of different public systems, including domestic water supply and wastewater and stormwater drainage. For each element of these systems, the respective basic principles of operation, design, and sizing are presented. Additionally, some basic procedures related to their construction and implementation are briefly covered.
