Summary
The subject solves the problematic of water-supply engineering (water
catchments, consumptions and treatment) and water supply (transport and water
network) from function and structural view.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Purpose of the subject is to introduce students into water supply system in the CR.
Course Contents
1. Basic terms in water supply, history and present of water supply.
2. Water demand, calculation of water demand for individual purposes (population, industry, agriculture and fire purposes). Uneven water demand and water planning.
3. Groundwater resources, collecting and collecting objects (horizontal, vertical and combined collecting objects).
4. Collection of surface water (reservoirs in running waters and reservoirs).
Use of rainwater, increasing the yield of water resources (transfers, infiltration), protective zones.
5. Conception of supply of consumers, territorial scope (local water mains, group water mains, regional water mains) and distribution of water mains according to the height arrangement (gravity water main, discharge water main).
6. Distribution networks, arrangement, direction and height arrangement of water networks.
7. Basics of distribution network hydraulics, pressure flow in pipelines, pressure losses.
8. Objects on the water supply network, fittings, water meters and house connections.
9. Hydrotechnical calculations in water distribution networks, branch, circuit and combined.
10. Water accumulation, reservoirs (types, equipment, location, construction, calculation of accumulation).
11. Pipe materials of water networks and their requirements (metallic - gray cast iron, ductile iron, steel and non-metallic - PVC, PE, PP, fiberglass, asbestos-cement).
12. Transport of water by pumping, pumps and pumping stations, shock protection.
13. Design and construction of water networks. Pressure testing of water networks and corrosion protection.
14. Operational and control activities, fault repair, water loss in the pipe network.
15. Public Water Supply and Sewerage Act and related regulations.
