Learning Outcomes

At the end of the lesson, the student will have come into contact with:

• The calculation of water needs and the fluctuations in water consumption.
• The basic principles of the siting and design of regulation tanks and discharge/pressure relief wells.
• The basic principles of designing external aqueducts and water distribution networks.
• The assessment of the design capacities for sewage and stormwater.
• The basic principles of sewer network design.

With the successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Dimension water supply projects.
• Dimension sewage projects.
