Water and Wastewater Engineering
for Urban Infrastructure

Urban areas around the world are experiencing rapid population growth, increasing the demand for sustainable, efficient, and resilient water and wastewater systems. This comprehensive course, Water and Wastewater Engineering for Urban Infrastructure, is designed to equip engineers, urban planners, utility managers, and environmental professionals with in-depth knowledge and practical skills necessary to design, operate, and maintain modern water supply and wastewater management systems in urban settings.

Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the principles and practices involved in the planning, design, construction, and management of urban water and wastewater infrastructure. The course integrates key aspects such as hydraulics, water quality, treatment technologies, stormwater management, and environmental sustainability. Emphasis is placed on real-world challenges including aging infrastructure, climate change, urbanization, and the need for integrated water resource management.

Through a combination of lectures, case studies, simulations, and practical projects, learners will develop competencies in:
• Designing water distribution and sewerage networks.
• Selecting and operating appropriate water and wastewater treatment processes.
• Addressing regulatory and environmental requirements.
• Applying innovative solutions including smart water systems and decentralized treatment.
• Planning infrastructure upgrades and expansions to accommodate urban growth.

By the end of the course, participants will be capable of contributing to the development and management of water and wastewater systems that are sustainable, cost-effective, and resilient to current and future urban challenges.
