Course content

  • The urban water system above and below the surface.
  • Challenges and opportunities.
  • Modelling and system thinking for urban water systems.
  • Modelling of Water distribution networks and Urban drainage systems.
  • Modelling theory, data requirements and model assembly, available software, objectives and possible information content, limitations, calibration and uncertainties.
  • Stormwater technology, design of normal runoff situations as well as extreme events, stormwater pollution.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

Students can describe and discuss:

  • Concepts and procedures for design, construction, and operation of urban systems for water distribution and urban drainage (including grey and green infrastructure)
  • Concepts of system thinking.
  • Concepts and procedures of modeling approaches in urban water systems, including calibration and uncertainty assessment of said models.
  • Concepts and procedures of condition monitoring and functionality measurements for urban water and wastewater networks.

Skills

Students can:

  • execute flow and pressure calculations for water distribution networks using state-of-the-art software.
  • execute flow calculations for wastewater networks using state-of-the-art software.
  • interpret and compare and discuss model results.
  • select the appropriate system boundaries and tools for solving engineering problem in the urban water systems field.
  • develop plans for a sustainable management of stormwater runoff in an urban environment for grey and green infrastructure

General competence

Students shall be able to abstract engineering problems in the field of urban water systems and develop engineering solutions in an analytical and reflected way.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures combined with exercises. The lectures and exercises will be given in English.

Further on evaluation

Both parts of the assessment is given a letter grade. The final grade will be calculated on the basis of the letter grades. 3 exercises account for 60 % of the grade, the exam accounts for 40%.

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.

Course materials

Will be announced at semester start.
