Course overview
To equip students with the skills, practical experience and industry engagement needed to design optimised water supply systems and efficient urban stormwater Management systems, using industry-standard tools and sustainable design principles
- Introduction urban stormwater management
- DRAINS modelling for Urban drainage system design
- Water Supply Systems
Course learning outcomes
- Apply a variety of criteria to optimise the performance of water supply systems
- Develop effective designs for conventional stormwater drainage systems that address urban infrastructure challenges and comply with ARR and industry standards.
- Gain proficiency in using software tools such as DRAINS, EPANet, Optimiser, and Hytran for the design and analysis of water supply and stormwater management systems.
- Evaluate the performance of water supply and stormwater systems through simulations and scenario analysis, considering both technical and sustainability aspects.
- Work effectively in teams to complete a design project, applying learned concepts to develop solutions for real-world water management problems in an urban context.
- Develop laboratory skills to analyse pipeline systems
