This module covers engineering and environmental aspects of the drainage of rainwater and wastewater from areas of human development. The content includes basic principles and engineering best practice, with the latter being mainly (but not exclusively) based on UK practice. Relevant aspects of urban drainage are considered, such as design, analysis, modelling, operation and maintenance including health and safety issues, system rehabilitation, flooding and sustainable water management. Standard material is combined with current developments and recent literature and research outputs by the Centre for Water Systems.
This module aims to provide a basic knowledge of classical and contemporary problems in management of urban drainage systems for the practising engineer. It also offers gaining practical experience in using urban drainage modelling tools.
This is a constituent module of one or more degree programmes which are accredited by a professional engineering institution under licence from the Engineering
Council. The learning outcomes for this module have been mapped to the output standards required for an accredited programme, as listed in the current version
of the Engineering Council’s ‘Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes’ document (AHEP-V3).
This module contributes to learning outcomes: SM1fl-SM3fl, EA1fl-EA3fl, D1fl-D3fl, ET1fl, ET2fl, ET4fl, EP2fl, EP3fl, G1fl-G4fl
A full list of the referenced outcomes is provided online: http://intranet.exeter.ac.uk/emps/subjects/engineering/accreditation/
The AHEP document can be viewed in full on the Engineering Council’s website, at http://www.engc.org.uk/

If a module is normally assessed entirely by coursework, all referred/deferred assessments will normally be by assignment.
If a module is normally assessed by examination or examination plus coursework, referred and deferred assessment will normally be by examination. For referrals, only the examination will count, a mark of 50% being awarded if the examination is passed. For deferrals, candidates will be awarded the higher of the deferred examination mark or the deferred examination mark combined with the original coursework mark.
