Summary
The subject is dealing with functional and constructional solution of the
drainages, sewage works and water pipes, including related objects and facilities.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The student who completes the course should be able:
- to apply and define information relating to functions and construction of sewage systems and wastewater treatment plants as well as associated facilities and installations,
- to prepare, defend and describe a simple project documentation for sewage systems and to determine basic parameters and dimensions of the sewage system,
- to evaluate, solve and interpret issues relating to the design of sewage systems.
