| Aim: To provide the students with an applied knowledge of the basic processes which are important in the production and distribution of drinking water and of water for the industry, of how to do a draft design a water works for treatment of groundwater, to experimentally and theoretically analyse the operation of a ground water treatment plant, and to plan, design and analyse urban water distribution systems, using both simple hand calculations and professional computer software. Water supply is considered from a holistic point of view from the resources to the consumer. |
| Contents: The spectrum of water qualities in water resources and the various quality requirements according to the water applications will be reviewed together with the amount and variation of water consumption, hygiene and water quality. The course will also deal with the chemical and biological processes in treatment of surface and ground water for and in distribution systems, including processes in domestic water installations. Water works operation will be analyzed based on the measurements of approximately 10 physical-chemical parameters and water works will be designed from a given water quality and with given production as a project activity. Besides the treatment of water, importance is put on the transportation system which is the most expensive part of the water supply system, and the course involves planning, design and analysis of pumping installations, reservoirs and distribution networks. The interaction between the water and the construction material is an essential part of the processes in distribution systems. |
