| Course Title | Surface Water Hydrology |
| Course Code | WRIE 2094 |
| ECTS | 5 |
Course Description
The central message of the course is on transffering the concepts and practical applications of the following topics to the students.
- Flood Routing; Reservoir Routing; Channel Routing.
- Frequency analysis of rainfall, low flow, floods and droughts.
- Reservoirs: determination of reservoir capacity; reservoir sedimentation
- Basic concepts of stochastic hydrology: parameter estimation, biased and unbiased statistics, time series analysis, consistency and homogeneity, hypothesis testing, trend and periodicity, histogram and frequency distributions: applications to flood frequency analysis, probable maximum precipitation and probable maximum floods.
Course objectives &Competences to be Acquired
After successful studying of the course, students will be able to:
-
Develope hydrographs, frequency analysis of, rainfall and stream flow data, flood routing, reservoir capacity determination and sedimentation, and statistical analysis of hydrological parameters and generation of random number
-
know and apply the different methods of data analysis and design in water resources engineering projects.
-
appreciate the practical significance of the course in civil and water resources enginnering projects (urban drainage, irrigation drainage, reservior capacity, water supply and hydo power)
