Objectives
The course, which is also applicative, provides the basic elements for the design and management of the main hydraulic infrastructures. The course is, therefore, aimed at providing students with the preliminary tools both for the analysis and solution of the problems that arise in the design phase, and for the decision-making approach aimed at optimizing plant management. Students will be able to acquire the notions necessary both for the design of works to be built from scratch, and for the adaptation and management of existing systems. The general notions acquired during the course will be naturally deepened in subsequent courses in the sector. The exercises will allow the application of the notions taught on simple case studies.
