Water in Municipal ServicesLaajuus (5 ECTS)

Objective

After completing the course student knows how to plan with suitable design criteria and design water distribution networks as well as sewage collection and storm water drain networks. Student has learned the basic concept as well as selection of critical criteria and working principle used in long term planning of piping networks serving municipal needs.

Content

The content of the course includes the fundamentals of both industrial and municipal distribution and collection techniques. This is gives the student the understanding of the design process in connection to distribution and collection network hydraulics, mass balances and process and instrumentation solutions. The network stages such as intermediate pumping – storage, population, and conservation of the quality of water is made familiar to the student. Also remediation techniques of water distribution networks with alternative methods are highlighted.
