Municipal Water and Sewer Network Engineering
About this course

Overview

Design decisions made once get lived with by an operations team for thirty years. This covers network design and hydraulic modelling alongside treatment and daily operation, connecting what gets drawn to what a utility can actually run at the scale a growing city imposes.

What you will be able to do

Learning outcomes

  • Size and lay out water and sewer networks
  • Run hydraulic simulations to test designs
  • Diagnose pressure, flow, and capacity problems
  • Specify treatment and pumping requirements
  • Coordinate design with operations teams
What the course sets out to do

Course objectives

  • Explain water and wastewater network principles
  • Design distribution and collection networks
  • Build and interpret hydraulic models
  • Integrate treatment and operational requirements
  • Plan for capacity, resilience, and maintenance

Modules

01

Water Demand and Supply

Estimating demand, source assessment, and reservoir and storage planning for urban supply.

02

Distribution Network Design

Pipe sizing, layout, pressure zones, and material selection for water distribution.

03

Hydraulic Modelling

Building, calibrating, and interpreting network models to test performance under load.

04

Wastewater Collection

Gravity sewers, pumping stations, and hydraulic design of collection systems.

05

Treatment Integration

Matching treatment processes and capacity to network flows and quality standards.

06

Operations and Resilience

Maintenance planning, non-revenue water, and building resilience into system operation.
