II. COURSE GUIDELINES

DESCRIPTION

Water resources engineering includes the principles of hydraulic and hydrologic

processes. The hydraulic processes include pressurized pipe flow, open-channel flow

and groundwater flow. Each of these are further divided into different types of flow.

The hydrologic processes include precipitation, infiltration, rainfall-runoff and routing.

These hydraulic and hydrologic principles are used in the design and analysis of pipe-

networks, channels and watersheds. Numerical computational models and software

will also be used to apply the principles learned in class. In addition, sustainable

engineering practices and global water issues will be discussed.
