Education level First cycle Grade scale G U 3 4 5 Subject Urban Water Engineering Subject group (SCB) Civil Engineering Main field of study Natural Resources Engineering, Civil Engineering Entry requirementsIn order to meet the general entry requirements for first cycle studies you must have successfully completed upper secondary education and documented skills in English language and Basic knowledge in mathematics and physics. More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 1-165 credits.Course AimYou should be able to; • Perform hyraulic calcualtions for pipes. • Dimension pipes, pumps and reservoirs for systems for potable water and wastewater. • Calculate storm water flows with the ”rational method”. • Describe the ”Time-area-method” used for calculation of storm water flows. • Describe the systems for potable water and wastewater and be able to explain the function of its components. • Describe differences in quality between different waters. • Describe different treatment units at water and wastewater treatment plants and be able to explain their functions. • Give examples and discuss interactions and conflicts between different aspects in the work concerning the development of sustainable urban water systems. *refer to references in written text according to common methods used in the engineering field of science.ContentsThe course deals with the systems for potable water and wastewater with focus on the pipe system. Hydraulic calculations are performed on pipe systems. Further, for water supply water resources, water quality, pipes, pumps, reservoirs and purification processes and systems are dealt with. For sewerage design of sewers, sewage quality and processes for wastewater treatment and sludge treatment are dealt with. For urban water systems, sustainability aspects will be dealt with.RealizationFundamental system knowledge is aquired by lectures and literature studies during the course. To achieve calculation knowledge, you should participate at the lectures and work with calculation tasks. The calculation task is presented by a report and will be orally presented. The oral presentation is mandatory. A project task and a field task are carried out (group tasks) to get a deeper understanding of the systems for potable water and wastewater. Sustainability aspects will be involved in the project task. During the field task, the water quality is investigated by laboratory methods. A field report is written in small groups. During the work with the project report you are introduced to common methods how to refer to literature references in the text. The project task is presented orally and with a written report in which the content as well as the quality of the reference management is evaluated In order to further penetrate sustainability aspects for urban water systems, a seminar will be performed. Active presence during the field task, seminar and at presentations is compulsory. ExaminationFundamental system knowledge and calculation and dimensioning knowledge are examined by two intermediate written exams during the course. More comprehensive calculation knowledge is examined during the course by a calculation task that is examined by a written report and an oral presentation. The project task is also examined by a written report and an oral presentation. To achieve a final grade of the course you have to pass all the examination tasks and attend the mandatory seminar, field task and scheduled oral presentation lessons. If you have not attended any of the scheduled field task lessons, you have to do the field task another year, if there is room for additional students. ExaminerAnnelie HedströmLiterature.
