Water and climate adaption
Overall Course Objectives
The objective is for the student to acquire knowledge and skills in building and using model for storm water, give suggestions for climate change adaptation and elements for safety at cloudburst, can project larger structures and basins. Have knowledge and skills within sewage rehabilitation.
The objective is for the student to acquire knowledge in hydraulics, calculate dimensional rainwater flow, and flow across weirs.
The course aims to enable students to give and justify and communicate choices and solutions of assignments in writing and orally. The course aims to enable students to explain the use of digital tools.

Course Content
Many urban areas are experiencing problems with the capacity of the existing sewer. New solutions are needed to divert the increasing rainfall, and solutions handling rainwater on the surface. Rainwater management must contribute to a sustainable urban structure.
Rainwater Drainage: service requirements and storm Water models, safety for cloudburst, climate adaptation
Weirs, design and calculation, requirements for frequency, requirements for design, self-cleaning and operation, materials
Basins, design and calculation, requirements for frequency requirements for the design, self-cleaning and operation, materials
Pumping stations, design and calculations, management
Sewage Rehabilitation. Planning, strategy and methods
Sewage simulation using digital tools, status, impact assessment for separation, basin storage
