| Summary |
|---|
| The operation of potable water distribution systems for urban and industrial agglomerations. It solves the problems from the point of view of maintenance of the good quality of potable water, economics of system operation, optimization of networks and crisis management in case of extraordinary event. It tackles the questions of influence of monitoring on the control of systems and the solving of crisis situations. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| After passing the given course, the student will be able to apply, on a high professional level, the latest knowledge of the area of crisis planning to the field concerned with the operation of public water supply system. He/she will be able to propose and prepare independently various types of crisis scenarios, to explain their trends, and to defend, in the framework of planning, their strategic usefulness. According to customer’s needs, he/she will also be able to compare simultaneously the developmental trends in the Czech Republic with the latest trends in the EU countries to optimize not only engineering solutions, but also investment adequacy and economic optimization of individual investments. |
