Gestão sustentável de águas e resíduos – Instituto Politécnico de Coimbra

Base Knowledge

Basic knowledge other than those established in the application regime for the study cycle is not required.

Teaching Methodologies

The teaching methodology is based on the exposure of the main theoretical concepts in theoretical-practical classes, being later consolidated with application examples. The realization of group work in which information is collected or the application of current legislation and other rules helps to apprehend less explicit procedures in the application of management models. The use of debates in the classroom will, whenever possible, be a solution to expose and confront different ideas or methodologies.

Learning Results

It is expected that at the end of the course the student will be able to:
– know the national and European legislation on waste management as well as information dissemination platforms;
– identify the main characteristics of waste management, transport and collection operations;
– be able to identify the main stages of a life cycle analysis and implement environmental quality management systems in organizations;
– understand the behavioral patterns of society with regard to water and waste management and know the approaches and solutions to achieve the goals;

– identify opportunities and implement energy and hydraulic efficiency measures in water supply systems and wastewater drainage systems;
– quantify undue inflows in wastewater drainage systems and implement measures to mitigate them;
– understand the new water management paradigm associated with the implementation of sustainable urban drainage systems.
