1) Understanding of natural cleaning processes
2) Design of the mechanical pretreatment technologies based on natural methods
3) Control of design and processing project of constructed wetlands
4) Control of design and project development of stabilization tank
5) Insight into natural lakes and habitats

Knowledge of hydraulics - pipe flow, groundwater hydraulics, hydropedology - especially grain-size analysis, density and bulk density filter materials, waste water treatment - mechanical treatment and sludge management, calculation and maximum daily flow, water chemistry and technology, basic concepts such as nitrification and denitrification, BOD, PE

Self-cleaning processes in nature

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
In this course students take an excursion, including constructed wetlands for little village, the natural biotope and domestic constructed wetland.

Due to the duration of the semester in attendance at seminars tolerated one abstention. Results of the exercise is developed as residential project constructed wetlands, including visualization in SketchUp.
The test consists of a written and oral.

1. Introduction to natural ways of waste water treatment - advantages, disadvantages, possibilities of use, legislative.
2. Quantity and content of waste water, slurry and sludge, calculations, measurement, mechanical treatment of waste water from the small polluters.
3. Reed bed treatment plants: purification processes in filtration environment, efficiency. Function, use and treatment of plants in reed bed treatment plant.
4. Objects on reed bed treatment plants, design of treatment wetlands, computing and calculation, construction, sealing. Vertical reed bed treatment plant.
5. Plants on treatment wetlands – functions, using, treatment
6. Materials for filtration media
7. Possibilities and limitation of treatment wetlands
8. The proposal of house lake (treatment lake, stabilization lake, etc.) – building and maintenance
9. Stabilization reservoirs: purification processes in water environment, design solution, basic construction.

Not applicable.

Evaluation of possibilities of natural ways of water treatment use, advantages and disadvantages.
Specific of mechanical pre-treatment solution
Knowledge of purification processes in soil, water and wetland environment, their use in various types of equipment
Ability to use the principle of designing the most used types
