| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- At the basin scale, define precipitation, infiltration, surface (overland) runoff components, and hydrograph characteristics; estimate parameters under appropriate assumptions; and perform basic hydrograph/flow computations,
- For dams and spillways, compute the design discharge using discharge?stage (rating) relationships and energy (head) loss considerations,
- Apply transmission-main/canal design principles in conjunction with population projections and demand fluctuations, selecting appropriate models/tools; and evaluate data/assumption uncertainties and design limitations/constraints.
