ENVENG 333 : Engineering Hydrology

Undergraduate course

Project description

This paper covers the study, in an engineering context, of the occurrence and management of atmosphere, surface and subsurface waters. It is intended to give students the background and tools necessary to understand, analyse and design components of hydrologic systems. The course covers the following topics: Hydrologic processes and Measurements: Hydrologic Cycle; Precipitation; Evaporation and Transpiration; Infiltration and Percolation; Groundwater; Rainfall; Streamflow Analysis of Rainfall-runoff relationships: Rational Method, Unit Hydrograph Theory Statistical analysis of hydrological data: Data Selection; Frequency Analyses and Statistical Methods; Precipitation; Floods Hydrologic Design for Surface Waters: Design Storms; Risk Analysis
