Principles of Water Resources Engineering

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    This course will provide students an opportunity to increase their knowledge of the role that water plays in civil engineering systems by examining the cycling, balance and distribution of water, exploring the importance of water quality processes, and investigating the mechanisms of water movement over the land or in channel systems. Students will gain experience in the analysis of the geographic distribution/redistribution, quantity, and quality of water resources, and will introduce to water management evaluation policies, to explore the challenges surrounding water resources.
  • Course Goals
  • Zero Hunger
  • Clean Water and Sanitation

Requirements

CEI111

Description

  • English Description

    Water-Resources Engineering provides comprehensive coverage of the principles of hydrology (Precipitation, Infiltration, Runoff, Evaporation), principles of hydraulics (flow in closed conduits, open channel flow, flow in rivers, lakes and estuaries, and groundwater flow), and principles of water-resources planning and management estimation of water demands and quality for different purposes, water supply from different sources, and feasibility of water resources projects)). Presented from first principles relevant to the practice of water resources engineering and reinforced by some design applications. Laboratory and field work on selected topics.
