Learning outcomes Objectives:
Provide students with knowledge in the fields of drinking water supply and wastewater drainage, enabling them to design, operation and maintenance of water and wastewater networks and infrastructure.

Skills:
(a) Mastery of the design and dimensioning of adductor pipelines and reservoirs;
(b) Mastery of design, operation and modeling of public water distribution networks;
(c) Mastery of design, operation and modeling of public wastewater drainage networks;
(d) Understanding the design and operation of building water supply networks and building wastewater and rainwater drainage networks.
Syllabus 1. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS: Basis for water supply projects. Water supply systems. Reservoirs. Sizing of adductor pipelines and reservoirs. Accessories. Economic study of adduction systems.

2. PUBLIC WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS: Types of networks. Traced in plan and in profile. Sizing criteria. Calculation of networks by the HardyCross method. Accessories. Network modeling using EPANET software.

3. PUBLIC WASTEWATER DRAINAGE NETWORKS: Types of networks. Traced in plan. Hydraulic-sanitary sizing criteria. Drawing in longitudinal profile. Modeling of drainage networks using the SWWM software.

4. BUILDING WATER SUPPLY AND WASTEWATER AND RAINWATER DRAINAGE NETWORKS: Design of building networks for water supply, wastewater drainage and rainwater drainage. Elements of the networks. Sizing and calculation criteria.
