Water and climate adaption

• Establish and use a storm water model for an urban area.
• To enhance resilience and sustainability in urban areas, and to give solutions for climate adaptions and cloudburst
• Design of rainwater drainage systems
• Elementary design for weirs and their management
• Elementary design of basins and their management
• Elementary design of pumping stations and their management
• Has knowledge and skills in sewage rehabilitation and considering LCA when deciding solutions
• Has knowledge and ability to use relevant hydraulic concepts
• Explain the the use of digital tools supporting run off projects design and optimization
• Commmunicate, indicate and justify the selection of solutions of the assignments in writing and orally

Many living areas experience problems with the capacity of the existing sewer. There is a need for new solutions for handling the run off water, and solutions that allow the water to a greater extent to run on the surface. The surface run off relates to the 17 SDG’s Sustainable Development Goals.
