Description:

The course focusses in the first part on drinking water distribution system including intake objects, treatment plant and storage and consumers infrastructures. In another part connect lectures on water treatment in swimming pools and spas. The students will master technologies and processes used in drinking water and its transportation to the population of towns and villages, including the application of water treatment technology in specialized environments such as swimming pools, spas, zoo, and canoe water slalom.

Contents:

1. Water distribution system (between intake objects and treatment plant and storage tank and consumers infrastructure).
2. Design of intake objects, water treatment plant, storage tank, consumer's water infrastructure.
3. Water pumping system (types of pumps, wiring methods, regulation, working procedure)
4. Pipe distribution system (material, design, connections, laying, ..).
5. Construction and operation of water supply system.
6. Measurement, control, monitoring and detection.
7. The development of the spa industry (water management issues, legislation, meaning, geography, ...)
8. Hot-spring technology (catchment springs, storage, transportation, muds technology)
9. Specialised and advanced water recirculation systems (ZOO, Industry, swimming pools, ..)
10. Steps of construction, urban pointer, disposition, water resources
11. Theory solution of regeneration pool water (balance equations , exchange system, layout, ...)
12. Technology of pool water (technological equipment, technological processes, material, ...)
13. Economic Assessment (investment, operating), rules and regulations.
