Course Description and Goals

To provide senior undergraduate students and graduate students in civil and environmental engineering experience in the application of hydraulics and human needs and demands in the design of water distribution systems and wastewater collection systems. Extensive use is made of commercially or otherwise available software packages to facilitate consideration of various options and to enhance computational capabilities. Project management, report writing, and oral presentations are integrated in the design projects.

Textbook and References

Required Textbook: None. Handouts will be provided in class from time to time. Other sources will be identified for reading and printouts. References: None
