Synopsis

An  understanding  of  basic hydraulics and the  principles  of  water
supply  and  waste  disposal, are required by  all  Civil  Engineering
Associates.   This  unit  seeks  to introduce  the  student  to  these
essential areas of study.

BASIC  HYDRAULICS:-   This  unit  seeks  to  provide  a  grounding  in
hydrostatics and in hydraulic terminology, theory and devices.   Basic
concepts  are developed to equip students with the tools necessary  to
solve simple pipeline, pumping and open channel flow problems.

WASTE  DISPOSAL:-   The essential sanitary biology,  microbiology  and
chemistry  are presented along with a description of water supply  and
sewerage  installations, water and wastewater treatment processes  and
solid waste disposal.
