What you will learn
This course presents the basic concepts of hydraulics in relation to water networks. First, some central quantities in hydraulics are described, followed by an outline of different negative phenomena that occur in water networks, such as backflow and water hammer. Afterwards, the role of static pressure in networks and associated tools are explored, notably topographic maps.
Educational Objectives
To know the different components of drinking water networks and phenomena that occur
To understand the application of altitude in drinking water networks
Target Skills
To analyse anomalies and malfunctions that may arise in drinking water networks
