Learning outcomes: Knowledge Student after completing the course acquires knowledge on hydrogeological and hydrological considerations of drainage systems and design techniques of surface and subsurface drainage system, road surface drainage due to soil conditions (cohesive or non-cohesive), filtration protection, filters, water flow-regulating devices, collecting and leading the water away systems, managing pollutants infiltrating into the soil and groundwater by discharging it carefully from the road to avoid damages to the adjacent land. Skills Student knows how to design and execute efficient road drainage system and land area drainage during earthworks activity. Student is able to recognize suitable drainage system elements such as pipes, sand and gravel cushioning layers, geotextiles and evaluate road drainage system executing projects.

Competences: Student shows understanding for importance of efficient road drainage system and is aware of the serious damage that can be caused by an inappropriate drainage to road safety.

Prerequisites: soil mechanics, geology, hydraulics and hydrology, roads and highways, bridges.

Course content: Precipitation types, intensity and parameters. Rainfall receivers. Classification and range of surface and underground areas drainage systems issues. Runoff coefficient. Surface drainage system elements. Subsurface drainage system. Sewage designing. Side road drainage system. Soil filters. Determination of cushioning layers of sand and gravel containing one or more sheets. Storage reservoirs.
