Learning outcomes |
Objectives:
To address concepts related to water management and pollution control in urban areas, as well as the design, construction, operation, and rehabilitation of facilities and structures for the treatment of water, wastewater, stormwater, water treatment sludge, and sewage sludge, and the management of municipal solid waste, including its containment.
Skills:
1) Recognition and understanding of integrated urban water management, characteristics, methods, and technologies for water treatment for public supply, and management of water treatment plant sludge;
2) Mastery of the design, sizing, implementation, and performance evaluation of wastewater treatment facilities and sewage sludge management;
3) Recognition of solid waste typologies and understanding of their physical characteristics, treatment technologies, and management and valorisation processes.
