Objectives
To give to the students and future Civil Engineers the fundamental concepts of Environmental and Urban Hydraulics within the Water Cycle component included in the water supply and drainage water systems areas. The main goal is to prepare the students and prepare them for the project, for its evaluation, analysis and discussion as well as for the works supervision and exploration of Water Supply Systems’ infrastructures components. Special emphasis will be given to the normative aspects of construction and exploration of the infrastructures’ hydraulic components.

Eligibility for exams
Bearing in mind that this is a descriptive and practical course, the students are advised to attend and participate in all the classes (practical and theoretical). There will be absence control in all the classes (frequency attainment follows the FEUP’s rules).
Calculation formula of final grade
The final grade of the written exam is 17 marks and the one of the practical assignments is 3 marks.
Examinations or Special Assignments
None
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
As specified on FEUP’s Evaluation Rules

Observations
Working time estimated out of class: 4 hours
The students who prove, before the Department of Civil Engineering, that they cannot attend practical classes and therefore cannot elaborate and deliver the practical assignments reports, must declare it to teachers until the exam,s date, being the final classification obtained with the written exam, which will be rated for 20 marks.
