| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- Analyze the effects of urbanization on the hydrological cycle, infiltration capacity, and surface runoff regime; construct Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves using meteorological data and determine design rainfall hyetographs,
- Calculate the time of concentration and runoff coefficients based on the characteristics of urban catchments; analyze the rainfall-runoff transformation using empirical and deterministic methods,
- Classify urban drainage systems; dimension grated inlet structures, culverts, side weirs, and conveyance channels according to hydraulic capacity and safety criteria,
- Perform flood routing calculations; conduct volumetric and hydraulic calculations for detention basins to reduce flood risk in urban areas.
