Università Roma Tre

The course is made of two parts. The first part provides the students with the main notions of applied hydrology for water managemnt and flood risk management; the second is dedicated to the design of urban water supply systems.
Part 1 – Hydrology
1.1) Rainfall: rainfall genesis, rainfall measurements, rainfall regimes, intense rainfall, rainfall amount at the catchment scale.
1.2) Evapotranspiration: phenomenology and measures.
1.3) Catchment and hydrogeological basin definitions: water balance.
1.4) Groundwater hydrology: unsaturated zone and aquifers.
1.5) Surface water storage: lakes.
1.6) Surface water flow: flow discharge measurements, river regimes, low and base flow, probabilistic models.
1.7) Hydrologic losses and runoff generation machismos.
1.8) Rainfall-runoff models: lumped linear models, kinematic model.
Part 2 – Water supply and sewer systems
2.1) Water use: domestic water, sustainable water use.
2.2) Water-intake hydraulic structures for surface water.
2.3) Artificial lakes.
2.4) Water transport, open channel flow.
2.5) Water transport, aqueducts, network configurations, pipelines, manufactures, pumping stations.
2.6) Urban reservoirs.
2.7) Sewer systems.
