This unit aims to equip students with a solid grounding in:
(i) the principles and practice of engineering hydrology, water resources, open channel flow and river engineering;
(ii) important topics in modern water engineering and the water industry, including water and wastewater treatment, water supply and distribution, water quality and aspects of sustainable water management in both developed and developing countries.
The role of water engineers will be affected by the current climate emergency, and this context is highlighted in the unit.
By the end of this course, successful students will:
(1) Describe the main processes involved in the management of water quality and quantity throughout the water cycle;
(2) Be able to analyse open channel flows and hydraulic structures for civil and environmental engineering applications;
(3) Be able to use hydrological statistics and models for application in water engineering design tasks;
(4) Evaluate design requirements for simple water supply and sanitation systems.
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
