Summary
In this course, students are acquainted with the knowledge of water supply (methods of calculation of water needs, water supply system - pumping stations and reservoirs, pipe materials, fittings and fittings, etc.) and the development of legislation. In the exercises, the calculation of water demand and design of the water reservoir are practiced on specific examples.
