Strong prerequisites (must have completed):
- EODHAI41 Infrastructure Study Project
Weak prerequisites (must obtain signature):
- EOVVA-F1 Water Damage Prevention and Water Use
Parallel prerequisites (must have completed earlier, or completing in the same semester):
- EOVVA-F2 River Basin Management
The objective of the course is that the student gains experience in solving water damage and water use problems through the preparation of a complex water damage prevention and water use plan, putting into use the methods taught in the prerequisite subjects.
- Synthese information acquired during prior learning.
- Can prepare a preliminary hydrological plan and lay the foundations for a detailed hydrological plan.
- Can design a drainage system for a simple inland flooding.
- Is able to design an irrigation system for a medium sized area.
- Can design a simple water intake structure.
- Is able to control the stability of a flood protection main protection line.
- The ability to document the design and related calculations in an orderly manner in the technical specifications, calculations and drawings, in the manner expected of an engineer, and to express his/her ideas on the design in a professional manner.
- Cooperates with the instructor in the development of his/her knowledge.
- Extends his/her knowledge through continuous learning.
- Is open to the use of information technology tools for the preparation of plans and the calculations on which they are based.
- Strives to learn and routinely use the tools needed to solve problems in hydraulic engineering.
- Works accurately and without errors.
- Strives to apply the principles of energy efficiency and environmental awareness in solving hydraulic engineering problems.
- Independently thinks through hydraulic engineering tasks and problems and solves them on the basis of given resources.
- Is open to well-founded critical comments.
- Applies a systems approach to thinking.
The student must complete individually a complex homework exercise with loosely interdependent subtasks, assisted by consultations with the lecturers. A written documentation must be produced, IT must be used and work must be organised so that midterm milestones are met.
The student will design utilisation and water damage control facilities associated with a lowland, dammed river section and the adjacent inland floodplain. Based on individual input data, the student
- prepares a hydropower management plan for a dam,
- designs a farmland drainage network,
- designs an irrigation system and the river intake structure that supplies it,
- designs a model cross-section for a flood protection levee along the river.
All assignments and input data are available at the start of the semester. As this is a consultation-type course, each student can progress at their own pace, but midterm milestones must be met.
The above programme is tentative and subject to changes due to calendar variations and other reasons specific to the actual semester. Consult the effective detailed course schedule of the course on the subject website.
