Course details
Water is controlled and regulated to serve a wide variety of proposes. Problems of water resources engineering involve flood mitigation, storm drainage, bridges and culverts, irrigation, hydropower, navigation and water pollution control. The modern science of water-resources engineering must be built on the basic elements of hydraulics and hydrology. While hydraulics is used to develop the conceptual designs for various features that interact with water for a project, hydrology is related, among others, with the determination of the amount of water available to meet the demands of a project. "How much water can be expected ?", is a fundamental question for a hydrologist. The other questions that may be encountered within the main field of water resources engineering are:- How much water is needed? - Who may use the water? - What kind of water is it? - What structural problems exist? - How does the project affect the environment? - Is the project economical? The purpose of this project-base course is to provide students with comprehensive basic practical knowledge of engineering hydrology through projects and the study of supported theoretical knowledge. Students will be required to develop creative thinking, problem solving and analytical skills that support a professional approach to addressing the type of questions, mentioned above from the field of water resources. Basic knowledge in Surveying and the practical use of levellers and theodolites is fundamental to the practice of civil engineering. Therefore one of the projects in this course allows students to acquire this as well.
