Detailed Course Content

Hydrology and Water Resources Management
Hydrology:.Elements for the characterization of the hydrological basin in different climatic contexts; drought and flood hydrological analysis; study of the surface runoff using the SCS method; Hydrological soil characterization; Analysis of water and energy exchange processes in the soil-plant-atmosphere system; Water Resources Management: Study of the evapotranspiration processes related to soil hydrology. Remote sensing techniques applied to map crop evapotranspiration and vegetation indices; Use of the geophysical tomografy for the analysis of soil water dynamics. Planning of natural water resources, which integrates the use of unconventional water (treated urban wastewater, salt water, etc…) within water scarce contexts; wastewater reuse in agriculture; analysis of deficit irrigation criteria.
Sanitary and Environmental Engineering
Environmental legislation. Fundamental of urban solid waste management. Pollution and environmental issues. Mass balance. Toxicology and risk analysis. Characterization of natural, drinking and wastewaters. Natural degradation. Water safety plan. Classification of wastewater treatment processes. Fundamentals of water treatment processes.
