Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDING THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN WATER SYSTEMS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS AS WELL AS FOR THE DESIGN OF THE MAIN HYDRAULIC WORKS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT BOTH THE NEED FOR SUSTAINABLE USE OF THE WATER RESOURCE AND THE PROBLEMS OF HYDRAULIC PROTECTION OF THE TERRITORY.

THE STUDENT WILL UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTIONING OF WATER ADDUCTION, DISTRIBUTION AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS. IN ADDITION, HE/SHE WILL KNOW THE MAIN ELEMENTS OF THESE SYSTEMS, THEIR FUNCTIONS AND THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THEM. THEN, HE/SHE WILL KNOW THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE DESIGN OF THE MAIN HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURES, WITH REFERENCE NOT ONLY TO THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF THE RESOURCE BUT ALSO TO THE HYDRAULIC PROTECTION OF THE TERRITORY.

THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO SET UP AND DISCUSS THE DIMENSIONING PROBLEM OF THE MAIN HYDRAULIC WORKS IN THE CONTEXT OF WATER ADDUCTION, WATER DISTRIBUTION AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS FOR WASTEWATER AND RAINWATER. SPECIFICALLY, HE/SHE WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE OPTIMAL DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT CHARACTERISTICS OF WATER SYSTEMS ACCORDING TO CRITERIA OF GOOD FUNCTIONING AND MINIMUM COST. HE/SHE WILL, THEN, BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE MAIN CHALLENGES RELATED TO THE HYDRAULIC PROTECTION.

THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND SELECT THE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS NECESSARY FOR THE PROPER MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER RESOURCE, AIMED AS WELL AT ITS SUSTAINABLE USE AND PROTECTION. IN ADDITION, HE/SHE WILL BE ABLE TO EVALUATE SOME HYDRAULIC PROTECTION MEASURES, IN RELATION TO THE PURPOSES OF SAFEGUARDING ANTHROPOGENIC INFRASTRUCTURES AND ALSO THE ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION OF THE TERRITORY.

THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT THE MAIN FEATURES OF A PROJECT BY HIGHLIGHTING THE FUNCTIONAL LINKS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS. FURTHERMORE, HE/SHE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK IN A TEAM AND ORALLY EXPOSE WITH PROPRIETY OF LANGUAGE THE VARIOUS TOPICS RELATED TO THE SUBJECTS COVERED DURING THE LECTURES.

THE STUDENT WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE LECTURES AND TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS COVERED USING MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED. IN ADDITION, HE/SHE WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE CONTINUOUS UPDATING OF HIS/HER KNOWLEDGE BY USING TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE AND INFORMATION RESOURCES.
Prerequisites
PREREQUISITES: BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF HYDRAULICS, FLUID MECHANICS, AND PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE STATED GOALS.
PREREQUISITES: ENVIRONMENTAL HYDRAULICS AND FLUID DYNAMICS, STATISTICS APPLIED TO ENGINEERING.
Contents
MAIN SUBJECTS OF THE COURSE
INTRODUCTION (4 HOURS): THE ARTIFICIAL WATER CYCLE. THE PROBLEM OF WATER SUPPLY ON GLOBAL AND LOCAL SCALES. USES OF THE WATER RESOURCE. WATER SCARCITY. THE PROBLEM OF WASTEWATER. FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT.

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS (40 HOURS, OF WHICH 15 HOURS AS EXERCISE LECTURES): AQUEDUCT. OVERVIEW (SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS AND ELEMENTS). HISTORICAL BACKGROUND. ITALIAN REGULATORY FRAMEWORK. DESIGN AND VERIFICATION OF AN AQUEDUCT. ECONOMIC OPTIMIZATION OF THE WATER SUPPLY NETWORK. HYDRAULIC AND ECONOMIC DESIGN OF A PUMPING SYSTEM. UNSTEADY FLOW IN PRESSURE PIPES. TECHNICAL MEASURES FOR THE ATTENUATION OF UNSTEADY FLOW. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FOR PIPES. STATIC VERIFICATION OF PIPES.

WATER SUPPLY TANKS AND WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS (11 HOURS, OF WHICH 5 HOURS AS EXERCISE LECTURES): TYPES AND MATERIALS. TANK DESIGN. CALCULATION OF COMPENSATION VOLUME. STRUCTURE OF THE WATER DEMAND. PEAK WATER DEMAND. WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK. DESIGN PROBLEM: FUNCTIONAL CONSTRAINTS. HYDRAULIC VERIFICATION OF A CLOSED MESH NETWORK. URBAN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS. LEAKAGE MANAGEMENT AND DETECTION.

NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL DRAINAGE NETWORKS (35 HOURS, OF WHICH 10 HOURS AS EXERCISE LECTURES): OVERVIEW. PRINCIPLES OF HYDROLOGY. RAINFALL-RUNOFF MODELS. CONCEPTS OF HYDRAULIC HAZARD AND RETURN PERIOD. DESIGN AND VERIFICATION OF URBAN DRAINAGE NETWORKS: FUNCTIONAL CONSTRAINTS. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FOR SEWER SYSTEMS. HYDROMETRY OF FREE-SURFACE CURRENTS. NATURAL DRAINAGE NETWORKS. HYDRAULIC SCHEMES OF FREE SURFACE CURRENTS WITH CONSTANT FLOW RECURRING IN DRAINAGE NETWORKS. HYDRAULIC SCHEMES OF FREE-SURFACE CURRENTS WITH VARIABLE FLOW RATES: DESIGN OF A GUTTER CHANNEL AND A SIDE SPILLWAY. HYDRAULIC CALCULATION OF A CONFLUENCE. PRINCIPLES OF FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT AND RIVER REQUALIFICATION (OVERVIEW OF TYPICAL MEASURES).
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE, WHICH IS OF 9 CFU (UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL CREDITS), INCLUDES BOTH STANDARD LECTURES (60 HOURS, 6 CFU) AND EXERCISE LECTURES (30 HOURS, 3 CFU). IN THE COURSE OF THE TEACHING ACTIVITIES, THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POSSIBILITY OF TECHNICAL VISITS TO SOME WATER PLANTS IN THE LOCAL AREA AND NATURAL WATERWAYS.
THE EXERCISE LECTURES WILL BE GIVEN IN THE CLASSROOM OR AT THE HYDRAULICS LABORATORY, IN ORDER TO STIMULATE STUDENTS’ CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS AND ACTIVELY INVOLVE STUDENTS IN THE LEARNING PROCESS. FURTHERMORE, IN ORDER FOR STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE SOME OF THE GOALS OF THE COURSE (INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS ON DESIGN PROBLEMS OF HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURES AND TEAMWORK SKILLS), DESIGN EXERCISES IN WORKING GROUPS OF 3-5 STUDENTS ARE SCHEDULED. AS PART OF THE FORMATIVE EVALUATION, THE DESIGN EXERCISES, PLANNED TO BE 3 IN TOTAL, WILL COVER THE FOLLOWING TOPICS: EXTERNAL WATER SUPPLY NETWORK, THE URBAN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK AND THE DRAINAGE NETWORK.
LECTURES’ ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. IN ORDER TO BE ADMITTED TO THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE HOURS COVERED BY THE COURSE. THE METHOD OF VERIFICATION OF ATTENDANCE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS, WILL BE MADE KNOWN BY THE LECTURER AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH LECTURE.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM, EXPECTED TO BE ORAL, IS AIMED AT ASSESSING THE STUDENT'S KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE LECTURES, AS WELL AS HIS/HER ABILITY TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO THE DESIGN AND THE VERIFICATION OF THE HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURES COVERED IN THE COURSE. THE EXAM ALSO INCLUDES THE DISCUSSION OF THE EXERCISES. ADDITIONALLY, THE EXAM WILL ASSESS THE STUDENT'S COMMUNICATION SKILLS, ESPECIALLY WITH REFERENCE TO HIS/HER COMMAND OF LANGUAGE AND ABILITY TO ORGANIZE THE PRESENTATION OF THE TOPICS IN A MEANINGFUL AND EFFECTIVE WAY. THE EVALUATION SCORE WILL BE DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF THE FOLLOWING INDICATORS: COMPLETENESS, CLARITY, RELEVANCE. THE EXAM IS CONSIDERED PASSED WITH A MINIMUM SCORE OF 18/30. HONOURS WILL BE AWARDED IF THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES FULL MASTERY OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS, AND SHOWS REMARKABLE COMMAND OF LANGUAGE AND INDEPENDENT THINKING SKILLS, EVEN IN CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE COVERED BY THE LECTURER DURING THE COURSE.
