Catalogue Description
|
The
physical processes associated with the components of the
hydrologic cycle are studied.
Measurement and collection of data are discussed.
Model conceptualization and data analysis are
explored for quantification of water flow for design
purposes. Analysis
procedures for surface and groundwater hydrology useful
for design of urban facilities are emphasized.
Hydrologic design methods are discussed and
applied to engineering projects. Watershed management concepts are emphasized.

Course Objectives/Outcomes
|
The overall objective of this
course is to familiarize students with the basic concepts of hydrologic
processes and analyses. Students are expected to gain an
understanding of fundamental components of the
hydrologic cycle, and to develop the capability to apply
statistic methods, frequency analysis, unit hydrograph
and flow routing methods to solve related engineering
problems and projects. This course may also
stimulate students' interests for further research in
hydrologic engineering and hydrosciences.
