CE3040 Urban Water Infrastructure Syllabus:

CE3040 Urban Water Infrastructure Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

 To impart knowledge and skills relevant to water management in the context of urbanization and relate engineering principles to water supply, storm water and wastewater management, along with related regulations and best management practices from around the world.

UNIT I URBAN ECOSYSTEM

Cities as Ecological system – hybrid ecosystem – Resilience in urban ecosystem. Human components of Ecosystem – Urban pattern and Ecosystem function. Population and Community dynamics, functions of Urban Ecosystem.

UNIT II URBANHYDROLOGY

The urban hydrological cycle – Function – Human induced changes in urban watershed – Hydrological calculation – Runoff – Infiltration – hydrograph.

UNIT III URBAN STORM WATERMANAGEMENT

Design of Drainage System – Roadway Drainage Analysis – Types of inlet – inlet design – Design of storm drain – Storm water management regulations – structural storm management systems – Newer trends in storm water management (Green infrastructure) – installation – operation and maintenance.

UNIT IV WATER CONSERVATION AND REUSE

Trends in supply and demand – indoor conservation – outdoor conservation – water reuse – Rainwater harvesting – public education.

UNIT V WATER GOVERNANCE

Challenges in water sector – Institutional setting, Supply Management, Demand Management, Waste water management – Private sector participation, urban service delivery, customer satisfaction, financial resource management – case studies of best practices in cities across the world.
