| Course contents : | A) Surface Water part
Hydraulics and management of:
- catchment of meteoric and surface water (run-of-river water intakes and water intakes in reservoirs),
- water lifting,
- water storage: water towers, reservoirs ...
- water supply networks,
- sewage networks and water sanitation.
B) Groundwater part (A. Dassargues and S. Brouyère)
- Quantity indicators for a sustainable groundwater mamagement;
- Impact of climate changes on the groundwater resource and its recharge;
- Remindings: hydrogeological properties and groundwater flow equations;
- Pumping tests and recovery: assumptions, interpretation methods in steady state and transient state, superposition principle, anisotropy, leakance, applications.
C) Hydraulic constructions part (Ph. Rigo)
Interaction between the water resources management and the management of the waterways (locks, movable weirs, etc) |
|
| Course objective : | A) Provide the students with background knowledge about hydraulics and management of water production, transport and distribution techniques, as well as sewage systems and water sanitation. Detail simple approaches for the hydraulic computation of flows occuring in each of those domains.
B) Allow the student to obtain a strong basic knowledge about hydrogeology and groundwater flow problems.
C) To give the students the minimum background to understand the water management in a waterways |
|
| Workshops : | Exercices and practical work sessions are organised following the corresponding theoretical lessons. |
|
| Organization : | This course will be given in Arlon |
