Integrated Water Management
Governance of Urban Water Supply
This module provides guidelines for projecting a water supply system. In particular, it provides an initial introduction of the whole system, a description of hydraulics equations necessary to understand the network behavior and an illustration of non-technical aspects related to the water supply system design. Finally, each part of the water supply system is analysed. Below the single units of the training module:
