| Educational objectives | The course examines the main hydrological processes as the rainfall formation, the effective rainfall and the direct runoff generation, and provides means to measure and estimate the quantities of most interest in the design of hydraulic infrastructures. The course examines also water distribution systems and sewer systems. The main expected learning results will be: •knowledge and understanding of hydrological cycle and key hydrological processes, measurement techniques of the main involved variables, basic methods for estimating effective rainfall (SCS-CN method) and direct hydrograph (lumped and semi-distributed approaches), direct and indirect stochastic methods to estimate design discharge, water distribution systems, sewer systems. •skill to select and apply measurement techniques of the main hydrological quantities, proper basic modeling in order to represent the main components of the hydrological cycle as infiltration process and runoff generation, appropriate approach in estimating flood frequency and design variables, skill to select and design water distribution systems and sewer systems. |
| Prerequisites | In order to understand and to apply the most important concepts discussed in the course is: -necessary that the student has already passed the end of course exams of Mathematical Analysis 2 and Rational Mechanics and Statics; - appropriate that the student knows topics involved in Geometry and General Physics courses. In particular, it is necessary that the student is familiar with: the concepts of continuous function, limit, derivative and integral (simple, surface and volume)-not only from the mathematics point of view, but especially from that of mechanics-exponential and trigonometric functions, fundamental equations of mechanics (principle of conservation of mass, Newton's equation and theorem of momentum). With reference to numerical applications, which constitute an important part of the course, the student must be able to solve equations numerically using the most basic techniques of numerical analysis. |
| Teaching methods | The course is organized in: •Face-to-face lessons; •Practical training. |
| Other information | Sample constituted by 411 students. Average grade: 26.55/30; standard deviation: 2.99/30. Percentage of students who obtained an exam mark included in the range 18 - 21 7.3% 22 - 24 13.9 % 25 - 27 37.2 % 28 - 30 34.5 % 30 cum laude 7.1 % Examination Timetable: The schedule of the exams is available at the following link: http://www.ing1.unipg.it/didattica/studiare/calendario-esami |
| Learning verification modality | The exam of the course consists of an oral discussion The oral exam is directed to check out the knowledge level over the course contents related to Municipal Water Systems, the ability to apply the studied models and techniques and the ability to select the proper methodology by self-judgement. Furthermore, the oral exam has also the objective to evaluate communication skills and the usage of an appropriate language about the theoretical and practical subjects of the course. The grade of the exam is certified with the local grade system, which is a number on a scale from 18 to 30. For information on support services for students with disabilities and / or DSA visit http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa. |
| Extended program | The course deals with the basic hydrological processes as the rainfall formation, the effective rainfall and the direct runoff generation, and describes measurement techniques of the main hydrological variables and methods for estimating hydrological variables and to design hydraulic infrastructures. The course is organized in different units as follows: Hydrological cycle. Water distribution systems: urban demand of water; water supply sources; calibration and test of water distribution systems and hydraulic networks; pipes characteristics; valves, tees, bends and reducers; tanks, siphons; pumps and pumping stations, transient control (air chamber); technical norms of water distribution systems. Sewer systems: hydraulic design of storm sewers and of wastewater sewers; side-overflow weirs, pumping stations. |
