3. Thematic scope of studies:
Creating and using mathematical models of water supply and sewage networks in engineering practice.
4. Recipients:
The studies are intended for representatives of professions related to environmental engineering, in particular with planning, implementation and operation of water supply and sewage networks.
5. Study objective:
The graduate will obtain knowledge and skills necessary in enterprises/institutions responsible for the construction and operation of water supply and sewage systems, will learn modern IT tools enabling the analysis of the functioning of these systems and the selection of optimal solutions for their modernization and expansion. Learn the principles and methods of obtaining and processing data for creating water supply and sewage network models, be able to create a water supply and sewage system model using selected software, calibrate and validate it, conduct simulations, interpret the obtained results, use them in engineering practice.
6. Learning outcomes:
- Ability to process data based on MS Excel necessary to build water and sewage network models.
- Ability to use QGIS in the scope of editing, processing and analyzing data to the extent necessary for mathematical modeling of the network.
- Ability to use US EPANET program - creating and calibrating a water supply network model, analyzing modeling results.
- Ability to use US EPA SWMM program - creating and calibrating a sewage network model, analyzing modeling results.
- Knowledge of the basics of hydrogeology and meteorology and methods of measuring precipitation and flows, necessary for creating and calibrating models.
- Ability to prepare a water or sewage network model for a selected catchment area, analyze and optimize the system.

12. Additional information:
Place of studies: Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Engineering of the Lodz University of Technology, Institute of Environmental Engineering and Building Installations; apart from the first meeting planned for 07.10.2023, classes will be held remotely via the MS Teams platform on Friday afternoons and Saturdays;
Classes will be conducted by experienced employees of IIŚiIB PŁ and specialists from outside the Lodz University of Technology, with professional achievements and experience in the design, modelling and optimisation of water and sewage systems and spatial information systems.
Practical classes (computer lab) will be conducted using free US EPA SWMM, EPANET and QGIS software on students' computers, 2 monitors recommended. As part of the Final Thesis, students prepare a model of a water or sewage network for a selected catchment area, analyze and optimize the system (10 hours of individual work with a Supervisor).
