Water Supply and Sewerage Systems

General

Course Contents

1. Short course description:
The course aims to provide students with the basic theoretical and background knowledge for the
core course ‘YDR004 Water Supply and Sewerage Systems’. It includes the necessary material for the
understanding of the basic concepts of design and dimensioning of all individual water supply and
sewerage network projects in urban and semi-urban areas through a theoretical and practical
(application exercises) approach.
2. Lectures’ content:
o Introduction to urban hydraulic works, historical background. Basic principles and design
parameters of water supply projects.
o Qualitative and quantitative water quality and quantity data. Sampling of springs, surface and
groundwater.
o Pumping stations and pressure mains. Calculation of water needs.
o Siting, sizing, and design of water reservoirs and yield/reduction wells. Required elevation and
sizing.
o Design, hydraulic analysis and sizing of distribution networks. Calculation of radial and axial
networks.
o Computer models for solving water supply networks.
o Qualitative and quantitative data of municipal/ industrial wastewater and stormwater.
o Hydraulics of sewers.
o Basic principles and design parameters of urban sewerage projects. Types of drainage and
stormwater networks.
o Principles of sewage network design. Flow speed limits. Minimum gradients. Couplings. Local
losses. High and low velocity problems. Qualitative and technological aspects of sewerage pipelines.
o Estimation of stormwater flows. Design principles for rainwater collection networks.
Methodology for the design and calculation of rainwater networks in horizontal and vertical sections.
Construction and hydrological constraints.

Educational Goals

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
• identify and describe qualitative and quantitative water and sewerage (wastewater and
stormwater) data
• explain and estimate the required water supply and sewerage infrastructure in horizontal and
vertical sections
• examine the design of typical water supply projects (external aqueducts, reservoirs, distribution
networks)
• design sewage and stormwater drainage networks in an urban environment
• asses hydraulic network analysis models on the computer
• identify water supply and sewerage works in the relevant studies (technical report, general
works layout, pipeline sections, materials, geometric features).

General Skills

• Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information
• Adapting to new situations
• Decision making
• Individual work
• Working in an interdisciplinary environment
• Project design and management
• Criticism
• Promoting free, creative and inductive thinking

Teaching Methods

Face to face

Use of ICT means

Support of the learning process (Teaching and
Communication with students) through PowerPoint lectures,
through the course website, through the e-learning platform
and through additional electronic communication with
students (online announcements and comments, emails,
etc.). Additional material (lecture presentations, educational
videos, useful sites and scientific articles) posted on the elearning page. Teacher-student collaboration time either by
physical presence or by teleconference.

Students Evaluation

Language of Evaluation: Greek.
Written test with extended answer questions (formative
and/or inferential).
Theory assessment (100% of the final grade):
• A written progress examination (30% of the final
grade) including:
_Theoretical Extended Response Questions (formative
and/or inferential)
_Problem-solving exercises.
• Written final examination (70% of the final grade)
including:
_Theoretical extended response questions (formative
and/or inferential
_Problem-solving exercises.
The present course description with the assessment criteria
is accessible to students in the Departmental study guide
(Departmental website) and on the course website.
The outline is communicated orally to students during the
first lecture.
