Base Knowledge
Students should have knowledge about General Hydraulics and Applied Hydraulics (water supply systems and storm water systems)
Teaching Methodologies
In classes, the exhibition and inquisitive methods are used.
During the approach of programmatic issues, practical situations are exposed and critical spirit and understanding are encouraged, with an active participation in classes.
Students resolve exercises individually or in groups.
Students develop projects about water supply and drainage systems modeling.
Learning Results
The goal of this unit is to acquire knowledge on planning and management of water supply systems and wastewater and stormwater drainage systems, systems, using simulation models.
Generic skills: application of knowledge and understanding; judgment and decision making; self-learning; teamwork; oral and written communication.
Specific skills: acquiring knowledge and capacity of understanding about the management of water supply systems and wastewater and stormwater drainage systems, including building simulation models, implementing measures to control water losses, control infiltration and increase energy efficiency.

Curricular Unit Teachers
Joaquim José de Oliveira SousaGrading Methods
Students must attend at least 2/3 of the classes to be admitted to the assessment.
Assessment: Final Exam (FE - 10 points) and projects (P - 10 points). The approval means that FE is greater than or equal to 40% of 10 points and P is greater than or equal to 50% of 10 points; The final mark is NF = FE + P.
