Base Knowledge
Students should have knowledge about Hydraulics, particularly pressurized flows.
Teaching Methodologies
Expository and inquiry method for explanation of theoretical subjects and resolution of exercises.
Execution of a project of a water supply system in groups of 2 or 3 students.
Learning Results
The goal of this unit to acquire the knowledge necessary for interpretation and design of water supply systems. Generic skills: application of knowledge and understanding; judgment and decision making; self-learning; teamwork; oral and written communication. Specific skills: design water supply systems; understand the hydrological phenomena and recognize the potential of the use of the water as an economic factor of production and social progress; introduce the main chemical, physical and biological processes involved in water treatment and sewage disposal applied in the design and management of treatment plants.
