The course aims to create a training offer in the field of Sanitary Engineering. The proposed course is designed for the transmission of knowledge in the specific areas of urban hydraulics and its connection with the public health. These two themes have also a strong connection to several others, such as operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of infrastructure of urban hydraulic systems, water management and sustainability of systems of water services. It is intended to provide students with advanced theoretical knowledge that are useful from the point of view of their practical application and that constitute a significant added value in relation to the content traditionally taught in integrated masters courses. An objective is to transmit, to technicians advanced knowledge on the topics modelling of hydraulic systems, management, operation and maintenance of infrastructure and equipment and processes and essential water treatment Technologies.

The course is organized in three semesters, with 30 ECTS each. The first semester will consist of a mandatory common area, with 10 units of 3 ECTS each. The second semester has 2 branchs: it has 1 common unit with 3ECTS, each branch has 6 units with 3 ECTS each. The third semester is devoted entirely to the preparation of the dissertation (30 ECTS). The optional units can be chosen from a group of available units. In each edition of the course, eventually, only a few of the optional units will be available and this will be announced on time. The optional units is defined by the coordinating committee of the course and approved by the respective scientific committees of the departments involved.
