Objectives of the Course Introducing the key concepts in engineering hydrology to enhance students skills on estimating risks and occurrence probability of hydrological events
To teach the design of drainage and storage systems
To teach hydrograph analysis and flood routing in reservoirs
To teach dam types and the components of dams
Course Content Key concepts and methods in physical and engineering hydrology are discussed. Major discussion and learning is aimed towards understanding the fundamentals such as hydrological cycle, catchment, losses, hydrographs and hyetographs. Following this course, one would be able to predict the risks and occurrence probability of certain hydrologic events, knowledge will grow particularly on assessing the magnitude of the rainfall, and runoff from a catchment. Application focus on design of storm water drainage systems and management of flooding.
