Description

This course explores bio- and grey engineering, including restoration methods and Nature-Based Solutions. Students will learn to adjust Key Type Measures to specific problems and to combine green and grey engineering approaches.

The potentials and limitations of green and grey engineering are examined, with discussion of criteria for selecting appropriate methods (e.g., extreme droughts may compromise green solutions). Available methods and their possible combinations are analyzed, for example, grey engineering techniques such as hydraulic energy dissipation in highly erosive areas, complemented by green engineering in other contexts.

Students are introduced to common solutions through international case studies, including flood-risk management, sponge-city elements, erosion and avalanche mitigation, and ecohydrology for nutrient removal.

Optimization criteria, including groundwater recharge, flood retention, water quality improvement, human wellbeing, and biodiversity, are discussed in terms of combinable and mutually exclusive objectives. The course also addresses risk assessment, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, ancient techniques, and native knowledge.
