Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to identify and understand the principles, systems and processes involved in the provision of drinking water. They will be able to plan and design drinking water treatment plants depending on the raw water quality, as well as calculate pipe networks for distribution, elevated tanks and supply systems.

Module content:
- Requirements for drinking water; water quality: water hardness, lime-carbonic acid balance;
- Methods of drinking water treatment: a) mechanical/physical: raking, grit chambers, filtration, gas exchange, b) chemical/biological deferrization, demanganization, deacidification, desalination;
- hydraulic calculation of water supply networks (pump and pipe characteristics);
- Designing elevated ground tanks and water towers;
- Dimensioning urban supply lines
