ENVE3121Water Resources Engineering4 ch (3C 1T)

This course covers the principles of water resources management, with emphasis on surface water planning and system design. It includes methods for measuring stream stage and discharge using direct and indirect methods, including the area–velocity method, and students will learn to estimate water demand based on population and determine design flow rates. The course addresses the planning and design of water distribution systems, including storage tanks, reservoirs, and dams, as well as sediment transport and related river processes. Stormwater management is included, focusing on the planning and layout of collection systems, including the placement and design of inlets, gutters, and other urban drainage components. Additional topics encompass strategies for water demand and allocation, integrated watershed and water-supply planning, and groundwater development, including basic well design. Note: Credit cannot be counted for both ENVE 3121 and ENVT 3121.  

Prerequisite: ENVE 2011 with a minimum grade of C.
