| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- Adopt the systems analysis approach in water resources planning and management; formulate problems mathematically by defining project objectives, decision variables, and system constraints,
- Perform benefit-cost analysis in water resources projects using engineering economy principles and evaluate economic efficiency,
- Determine the optimum solution in water allocation, reservoir sizing, and capacity planning problems using Linear Programming and classical derivative-based optimization methods,
- Incorporate hydrological and economic uncertainties into the system using principles of probability theory; perform trade-off analyses in multi-purpose (energy, irrigation, flood protection) projects.
