Summary
The course deals with the issue of wastewater removal from urbanized units with an emphasis on: construction-technological problems of sewer network construction, legislative documents, hydrological bases for sewer network design, hydraulic calculations for unified and separated sewer system, sewer network materials, sewerage and WWTP objects.
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.
