Key words
groundwater movement – lowering groundwater surface level – distribution - pressure
Objectives
After his choice, the student is supposed to be able to detail the further design and calculation of the lowering groundwater level surface installation.
Also the student must be able to solve rather practical problems concerning forces, caused by fluids (mostly water) under movement.
Topics
· Lowering groundwater level surface.
· Groundwater movement on sheet pile bulkhead excavation.
· Design of pipes for water distribution.
· Put up pressure installations.
Prerequisites
Courses of 2e Bachelor (“fluids”).
Final Objectives
Taking into account the usual technics on different hydro-technical problems, the student must be able to come to the most optimal choice of a specific installation in order of advantages and disadvantages of technique, financial impact and environment.
The further design must be based on usual hypotheses.

Assessment
Oral examination based on the know how of design and calculation of lowering groundwater level surface, groundwater movement on sheet pile bulkhead excavation, design of pipes for (drink) water distribution, put up pressure installations.
A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item. However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items) , he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course, the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
