Overall objectives:

O1 - Qualify the student for a qualified, strategic and mediating professional role in urban hydraulics, particularly in water supply systems, as well as wastewater and rainwater drainage systems.
O2 - Provide the student with skills to design, analyze and size water supply systems, as well as wastewater and rainwater drainage systems.
O3 - Provide the student with skills to analyze the basic parameters of water quality characterization, considering the applicable legislative framework.

Syllabus:

C1 - Introduction: Urban Hydraulics, regulatory and normative provisions. The Portuguese General Regulations.
C2 - Drinking water supply systems.
C3 - Wastewater and rainwater drainage systems.
C4 - Water quality, depending on applicable legislation, and sustainable development.

Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The teaching component of the Curricular Unity is organized into theoretical and theoretical-practical classes in which all the subjects included in the program are explained and the methodologies for carrying out work on urban hydraulics are defined. Theoretical classes use audiovisual media and are dedicated to presenting the program content. Theoretical-practical classes are dedicated to learning about urban hydraulics, to solve a case study. The continuous evaluation methodology is composed of: 1 - Frequency: weighting of 50%; 2 - Work: The work is evaluated by report, presentation and discussion, with a weighting of 50%. In the Appeal Season and Special Season, the exam is worth 50% of the final assessment, that is, only the frequency is recoverable. The part of the evaluation corresponding to the work is not recoverable.
