Venue: (online course)

Summary:
The main objective of the module is to introduce the basics of planning, hydraulic- and engineering design, construction, operation & maintenance of water transport and distribution systems. At the end of the course, the participant should be able to ddecide on the main planning elements of these systems, namely designing demands, pressures, velocities and gradients. Furthermore, he/she should fully understand the steady-state hydraulics, be able to choose adequate supplying schemes, suggest a network layout, main components and pipe materials, be able to distinguish between various operational modes and finally, be able to judge technical solutions dealing with system maintenance, rehabilitation and expansion.
