SDG Detail
CIVIL 782 : Water Resources Engineering
Postgraduate courseProject description
The course is focused on the application of hydrology and hydraulics to a range of water resources engineering problems. A design project based around the pre-feasibility study of a multi-purpose reservoir scheme (using case study data of a proposed or an actual existing scheme) provides first hand experience in the actual design process. The lectures cover different aspects of the design project, including a selection of: � Design Flood Selection � Reservoir Design and Optimization � Flood Control and Design of Flood-control Structures (Spillway, Stilling Basin and Diversion Design) � Micro to Large-scale Hydro-electric Engineering � Water hammer and Surge Analysis � River Engineering and Sedimentation
