Learning outcomes: Knowledge Student after completing the course acquires knowledge on horizontal and vertical drainage system application according to particular geotechnical conditions. Student becomes knowledgeable about hydrological modeling of water movement into the side horizontal and vertical drains in both perched and tense water table conditions. Student also knows drainage system elements: pipes, devices, filters, system design techniques and methods of designing and constructing ditches. Skills Student knows how to design and execute drainage system of boreholes and land areas and is able to recognize appropriate filter cover due to the soil type. Student acquires knowledge on constructing shallow and deep driven drainage systems and their elements and is able to define specifications of applied drainage system.

Competences: Student shows understanding for importance of efficient urban drainage system and is aware of the serious damage that are caused by an inappropriate drainage of structures.

Prerequisites: Soil mechanics, geology, hydraulics.
