Environmental Engineering
| ENVE3133 | Hydraulics and Hydrology | 3 ch (3C 1T) |
|---|---|---|
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the key components of hydrology, including the water budget, hydrologic cycle, watershed and catchment characteristics, precipitation estimation, infiltration, evapotranspiration, runoff generation, groundwater recharge, and hydrograph development. Students will apply methods such as the unit hydrograph, the Rational method, flood frequency analysis, and flood routing for estimating design runoff. The hydraulics component focuses on uniform and non-uniform flow in natural and engineered waterways, with an emphasis on open-channel flow. Topics include the application of Manning’s equation, energy and momentum principles, flow transitions, hydraulic jumps, and the design of channels and storm sewers. Note: Credit cannot be counted for both ENVE 3133 and ENVT 3133. | ||
