General Information

Overview

In this unit, you will be introduced to the principles of hydraulics and hydrology and how to apply solutions to solve water engineering problems. This unit introduces the principles to solve water resources engineering problems on catchment hydrology and urban floodwater management. You will study governing concepts of probability, risk, and uncertainty applied to hydrology and hydraulics. You will also study rainfall patterns, river and reservoir routing, rapid and gradually varying flow in open channels, flood and stormwater control, and the design of hydraulic structures. To complete these tasks, you must use appropriate technical language, communicate professionally, and work in teams and individually.
