1. Basic concepts in water supply engineering, history and current state of water supply.
2. Water demand, calculation of water requirements for different purposes (population, industry, agriculture, and fire protection). Water demand variability and water planning.
3. Groundwater sources, abstraction and intake structures (horizontal, vertical, and combined intake structures). Surface water abstraction (intake structures in running waters and reservoir intake structures).
4. Water supply system concepts – classification of water supply systems by purpose. Vertical and spatial layout of water supply networks and territorial scope of water supply systems.
5. Rainwater utilization, increasing the yield of water sources (transfers, infiltration), and protection zones.
6. Basics of network hydraulics, pressure flow in pipes, pressure losses, and pressure zones. Hydraulic calculations in water distribution networks.
7. Water network structures, fittings, water meters, and house connections.
8. Water storage, water reservoirs (types, equipment, location, construction, storage volume calculation).
9. Pipe materials for water supply networks and their requirements (metallic – grey cast iron, ductile iron, steel; non-metallic – PVC, PE, PP, fiberglass, asbestos cement).
10. Water transport by pumping, pumps and pumping stations, protection against water hammer.
11. Design and construction of water supply networks. Pressure testing and corrosion protection.
12. Operation and maintenance, failure repairs, and water losses in pipe networks.
13. The Water Supply and Sewerage Act for public needs and related regulations.
