Supervisor:

Department of Urban Water Management

Synopsis:

The subject deals with the issue of water supply from the source, from raw water intake, treatment processes, accumulation and distribution of drinking water to the consumers, to its subsequent use by specific customers (eg. balneology and food production). The subject also includes the basics of hydrochemistry and hydrobiology of drinking water and water in the source.

Requirements:

elaboration of tasks from exercises, protocols from laboratory works

Syllabus of lectures:

[1]Water sources, water quality in source, intake objects, protection zones

[2] Methods of groundwater treatment – carbon dioxide removal, iron and manganese removal, filtration, disinfection

3] Surface water treatment - mechanical pre -treatment, preoxidation, primary disinfection, clarification, flash mixing, dissolved air flotation, filtration, adsorption, membrane filtration, stabilization, hygienic security. The sludge management of the water treatment plant

[4]Water need - development, calculation

[5] Pumping Station - Transport of water from source to consumer

[6] Accumulation, types, functions, calculation, pressure zones design

[7] Distribution network - design parameters and requirements - topology, pressure, pipe materials, fittings, valves, construction and remediation of water mains, control activities - flows, pressures, leaks

[8] Water management issues of therapeutic and municipal spa, disposition and composition of therapeutic and municipal spa

[9] Water, care for it and its inspection, principles of design and construction, theory and technology of pool water regeneration

[10] Application of devices and attractions

[11] Economics - Savings in design and operation, legislation

[12] Hydrobiology of groundwater and drinking water sources

[13] Hydrochemistry of drinking water
