Aim:  Formulate basic hydrologic and hydraulic processes in connection with flow of water in natural and urban environments, relate these processes to problems in environmental engineering and provide the students with the tools for solving practical problems in water resources and water construction.
Contents:  Introduction to the hydrological cycle in natural and urban environments, precipitation and evatranspiration, water balance, water consumption -
water supply - water discharge, contamination of water resources, mass balances, introduction to hydrodynamics, flow in pipes and open channels, energy loss in pipes, forces on different types of water constructions, types of flow, simple flow and solute transport in pipe networks and reservoirs, pumps, infiltration, flow and solute transport in groundwater, rainfall-run off, extreme hydrologic events.
Remarks:  The course is part of the preliminary four-semester programme for construction and environmental engineering
