berlin.de Brief description 1. Objectives Graduates shall be enabled to generally understand water supply and waste water systems and to be able to economically and ecologically plan and calculate the most important plant parts. The basic calculation methods will be teached and trained so that graduates are able to stay up to date with changes and rules of these methods on their own afterwards. This course imparts: professional competence 60%, methods competence 20%, system competence 20%, social competence 0% 2. Content Planning and calculating of plants and methods of water supply and wastewater treatment. Water supply will cover water and groundwater pollution control, water exploitation and catchment, water processing, transportation and storage as well as water allocation in small towns. The waste water part will include the design and calculation of sewer systems and their buildings as well as wastewater treatment, rainwater treatment and sewage sludge treatment. These topics will be completed with corresponding methods of town planning and water management. The exercise part of this course will cover practical calculation examples, e.g. the calculation of mutiple well systems, waterworks (softening, deacidification, iron removal, decontamination, filter plants), pumping installation, detention tanks, pipeline networks, sewage water systems, biological und advanced wastewater treatment, rainwater treatment plants (tank, stormwater with overflow, stormwater holding tanks) and sludge treatment plants. In the laboratory substances of water, waste water and waterbodes will be determined that are relevant to evaluate the quality of natural water, drinking water, waste water and water body conditions. The determination of these parameters is the precondition for selecting and controlling treatment and cleaning methods as well as internal and external plant controls. 3.
