Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student own the basic knowledge and principles for the design and management of hydraulic structures relative to i) water supply systems and ii) urban drainage collection systems.
Course contents
Hydrology and Drainage collection systems:
- Hydrologic cycle: precipitation regimes and data collection, gross and net precipitation, watershed water balance.
- Rainfall-runoff modelling; event-based models: rational method and linear storage model.
- Statistical analysis of extreme events, rainfall depth-duration-frequency curves.
- Overview of drainage systems, network types, rating curves in closed conduits.
- Design and verification of drainage systems.
- Sewage pipe materials and construction, lateral weirs and other special structures.
Water supply systems:
- Water demand: population estimates, municipal water quantities and requirements.
- Water abstraction: spring water captation, groundwater capitation, captation from rivers and reservoirs.
- Water supply networks: design and analysis of water adduction and distribution systems: dead-end and loop networks.
- Pumping stations
- Storage reservoirs
- Water pipes (standards, materials) and other water supply system components.

Classes and PC exercises
Assessment methods
Candidates are required to sit a final test, which ensures the
acquisition of the expected knowledge and skills.
The test is based on a written exam in which the use of notes
or books it is not allowed, followed by an oral colloquium only if
required by the Teacher based on the analysis of the written test.
The exam includes both exercises, of the type of those presented by
the teacher during the course, and open questions concerning the
theoretical aspects of the discipline.
Teaching tools
Handouts on the topics and on numerical exercises illustrated during the course
