The main objectives and topics of the subject will be described

Specific Objectives

Basic objectives of the subject, approach and presentation of the work to be developed during the subject. Definition of the concept of problem (processes vs. problems) and impact. Definition of the coastal zone as a multi-component system (physical, ecological and socio-economic). Concept of temporal and spatial scales for the definition of processes, problems and solutions. Basic typology of coastal problems and conceptual solutions. Underwater outfalls. Objectives of this type of works and basic design criteria. Possible impacts and basic solutions. Impacts of outfalls and the discharge of waste water in the marine environment.
