Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
1) Estimating demand for water supply, and applying the physical principles of flow in water distribution networks and pumping stations.
2) Estimating design storms, hydrologic losses, direct runoff, and performing open channel routing in storm water sewer systems.
3) Calculating dry weather and wet weather flows into sanitary sewers and designing a small system in a real setting, based on their understanding of physical
principles and real constraints such as minimum velocity, slope and cover.
4) Applying some recent softwares to the design of small-scale water distribution, storm water and sanitary sewer systems.
5) Assessing the water resources, water demand and management of water resources in terms of basic concepts.
6) Comprehending the legislation about drinking water supply and wastewater collection and applying them in the design procedures.
