Blue-green infrastructure
Kunskaper om hur man kan skapa en mer naturlik hydrologi med grönblå infrastruktur blir allt mer viktig för samhället och efterfrågad på arbetsmarknaden med tanke på de klimatförändringar som världen står inför. Efter avslutad kurs kommer du att vara välutrustad för att kunna föreslå, motivera, utforma och dimensionera grönblå konstruktioner och system.

Objectives
The purpose of the course is help the student gain a broad perspective on green-blue infrastructure and indepth knowledge on dimensioning, construction, management and maintanence of green-blue infrastructure in urban areas. Focus is primarily on using stormwater in raingardens, permeable surfaces and soils.
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
Knowledge and understanding
• Describe basic principles of hydrology and hydraulics
• Give a general account of the history, architecture, legislation, environmental aspects and treatment in connection with stormwater management
Skills and Abilities
Propose, motivate, design and dimension a resilient green-blue infrastructrue with suitable vegetation and construction elements.
Evaluation, ability and approach
• Show insight into sustainable stormwater management regarding planning, organization and management
• Critically evaluate a proposal and discuss its sustainability
Content
The course covers basic hydrology and hydraulics as well as design, dimensioning, treatment, management and vegetation conditions in green-blue infrastructure. It also gives an introduction to environmental problems and legislation related to stormwater and land drainage. The student acquires knowledge through lectures, seminars, exercises, assignments and excursions. The course can be taken at Ultuna or Alnarp. Some teaching elements such as lectures take place jointly via video link. There are teachers and tutors at both campuses.
