2 Online Course Urban Drainage and Sewerage September 2012 January 2013 Course coordinator: Solomon Seyoum, MSc

3 Course Objective The general objective of the course is to provide participants with an understanding of the basic principles and knowledge for the planning, design and construction of urban drainage and sewerage systems.

4 Learning Objective Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: describe the inputs, outputs and functioning of urban drainage/sewerage systems; appraise urban drainage and sewerage management problems in urban areas; describe the standard practice in designing urban drainage systems and develop simple drainage system designs; explain the elements of an urban drainage/sewerage model; describe the elementary hydraulic/hydrological processes involved in the urban drainage systems and recommend their appropriate applications; construct a simple model for analysis of hydraulics of a drainage system; interpret simple model results and use them for decision making in design, renewal and upgrading systems.

6 Expectations and grading Expectation Participants are expected to follow the on-line course schedule. Several assignments will be posted as a part of this on-line course. Assignments should be submitted by the deadline that will be clearly stated on each assignment in order to be graded. Assignments not submitted on time will not be graded and receive a mark = 0%. Participants are encouraged to ask/answer questions to/from their peers and the coordinator by using the e-campus platform of UNESCO-IHE ( All the course material will be posted using this e-campus system. Course Grade The final grade of this course is determined from: Activity Weight the average of several course assignments; Assignments 20% final project report; and final examination Final Project 30% A minimum average grade of 60% is Final Exam 50% required to pass the course and issue the certificate.
