The course objective is to let students work with a current, realistic and important water supply problem present at the Roskilde festival. Furthermore the aim is to enable the participants to evaluate possible solutions and describe this in a report to a (virtual) client/customer

• Analyse the water supply problems in real case
• Plan and perform a field invesigation
• Evaluate the results of the investigation using a computer model
• Generate realistic solutions and describe their pros and cons
• Communicate in a report the aims and problems, methodologies used and the solutions
• Present (orallly) the results of the project

During the annual Roskilde Festival, more than 80.000 persons need enough good and clean water for drinking and sanitation. In the past, there have been problems with keeping enough pressure and thereby delivering enough water. Apart from poor service, this can lead to spreading of diseases due to transmission of pathogens through hand contacts. A group of students collected data from the festival 2010 and this year’s course will build on that knowledge. The course is in the form of a project. In collaboration with the festival organizers, the students are supposed to identify water supply problems and come up with well argued suggestions for solutions. The project should typically contain a theoretical part, field work and EPANET modelling.

The course duration is 3 weeks. The participants must expect to spend 1-2 days in May preparing for the course, approximately 2 weeks in June, and finally 3-4 days after the festival to complete the report. See also http://roskilde.dtu.dk
