This course studies both hydrology, which is the study of occurrence, movement and distribution of rainfall, and hydraulic design, which is the application of fluid mechanics and other science an engineering disciplines in the design of structures and development of water resources. Hydrologic principles are applied to model and analyze the distribution and movement of rainfall in a watershed. Hydraulic principles are applied to analyze and design flow through underground aquifers and systems of reservoirs, channels and culverts. The course makes extensive use of computer simulation models used in engineering practice. The course includes several laboratory experiences that require students to develop and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions.

Hydrologic and hydraulic principles are applied in the analysis and design of water control structures. Specifically, the following concepts are studied: prediction of floods, movement of floods through natural and man-made channels, and open channel hydraulics with an emphasis on water surface profile calculations. These concepts are applied to the design of urban drainage structures, flood control structures, reservoirs, spillways, and stable natural channels. Computer simulation models, widely used in engineering practice, are explained and applied to flood routing and hydraulic engineering problems.
