The aim of the course is to understand the basic concepts of hydrology, such as hydrological cycle, hydrological equation, flood hydrograph, retention basin, and their practical importance in the design of hydraulic works.
Learning Outcomes
Students are expected to develop:
1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering;
2. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems;
3. an ability to communicate effectively;
4. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
Course Content
The topics covered include: hydrologic cycle, atmospheric precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, hydrologic equations, characteristic floodhydrographs, applied statistical analysis, urban hydrology, intro to
mathematical models of retention basins, design and construction of water control structures.
