| Hydrology II (Paper-Based) |
|
|
|
|
| Overview: |
Gain some exposure to hydrologic applications, through studying topics such as hydrographs, unit hydrographs, river routing, reservoir routing, groundwater hydrology, urban hydrology, hydrologic simulation, streamflow synthesis, and the use of hydrology in engineering design. This course has been approved by the American Meteorological Society for satisfying their core requirements. Part of the Meteorology Certificate Program.
In this independent study paper-based course, you submit assignments to an instructor, who grades them and gives you feedback. Textbook must be purchased separately. Take up to one year to complete.
|
| Who Should Attend? |
| People who are interested in water control structure design work, such as the measurement and interpretation of stream flow, find this course useful. |
| Prerequisites: |
| Hydrology I (ENGN5501C) or the equivalent; calculus and chemistry are desirable. |
| Additional Information: |
| Order textbooks from Specialty Books. Select subject area Engineering, then select course. |
| Objectives: |
| Use hydrologic data to forecast stream flow and stage hydrographs, to route hydrographs to points downstream, and to estimate parameters (needed in water control structure design works), such as flood and drought frequencies.Perform digital simulations, hydraulic routing, stochastics and water chemistry. |
