Catalogue data
| Abstract | In this course the students learn modern urban drainage engineering approaches, critical thinking, decision making in a complex environment and dealing with insufficient data and ill-defined problems. |
| Learning objective | By the end of the course, you should be able to do the following: -Apply different methods and methodologies to assess the impact of urban drainage on water pollution and flooding potential. -Distinguish between hydrological and hydrodynamic models and their correct application. -Identify the difference between emission and immersion oriented approaches for identifying drainage measures. -Identify relevant measures, quantify their effects and assess their relative ranking/priority. -Consider uncertainties and handle correctly incomplete data and information -Make decisions and recommendations in a complex application case. -Teamwork. State principles of effective team performance and the functions of different team roles; work effectively in problem-solving teams. -Communication. Communicate and document your findings in concise group presentations and a written report. |
| Content | In urban drainage the complexity of the decision-making, the available methodologies and the data availability increased strongly. In current environmental engineering practice, the focus shifted from tables and nomograms to sophisticated simulation tools. The topics cover: -Integrated urban water management -Hydrological and hydrodynamic modelling -Water quality based assessment -Freshwater ecology -Hydraulic capacity assessment -Sewer network operation -Decision analysis |
