Course detail

Water Supply - project

FAST-BPA005Acad. year: 2025/2026

In this course, students expand their theoretical knowledge and practice of practical design skills, which are obtained mainly in the course Water Supply. Students solve a complex project of drinking water supply system in selected smaller size municipality, but on the real territory and each with individual entries.
Students are gradually tackling water collection, water treatment, storage, pumping and water transportation. Processed solutions hand in the form of project documentation. Within subjects is used more than the current computer technology and software.
