The aim is to provide participants the general skills and knowledge needed to design, analyse and adapt urban drainage and stormwater systems in a setting with growing urbanization and climatic change. Knowledge is provided in the most important hydraulic and hydrological processes, as well as entry level statistics on extreme rainfall, wet-weather pollution discharges and flooding. Skills are provided in the traditional way of dimensioning drainage and stormwater systems by hand calculation as well as in the use of a state-of-the-art software for dynamic simulation of urban stormwater systems under heavy rain (e.g. MIKE+). The course focuses on both water quantity and quality and will introduce both traditional and novel solutions to managing stormwater - including both technical stormwater control measures, nature based solutions, and new digital data products and control principles. En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:

• Design simple urban drainage and stormwater management systems
• Analyse existing systems to identify areas in risk of flooding
• Propose a range of solutions to solve flood and surcharge problems, and document the effect of these solutions
• Dimension the most important system structures such as pipes, basins and overflow structures as well as nature based solutions and ocal infiltration devices
• Use advanced simulation software for urban stormwater systems (e.g. MIKE+)
• Understand the perspective of latest trends in digitalization of urban drainage systems - including new data and model products and digital twins
• Quantify frequency and volume of overflows
• Estimate pollutant loads to recipients
• Choose between different types of raindata for use on different types of problems
• Identify the main sources of uncertainty in model assessments and compare to uncertainty from climate change and growth of cities
