  • Deeper knowledge of hydraulics and water transportsystems, as well as stormwater management

Furthermore, you must be able to

  • explain the societal importance of safe drinking water
  • find and evaluate up-to-date knowledge of topics within the subject
  • apply digital tools for simulation of different scenarios when preparatory project development
  • communicate results to peers
