Hydrology - CIVL3614
Year - 2020

The overall objective of this unit of study is to give a general introduction to water resources, how these
are linked the hydrological processes, and how engineering plays a role in the management of water
resources. The aim of this unit is to provide a detailed understanding of: the hydrologic cycle of water as
a whole and its specific components including: geophysical flows of water throughout the environment,
dynamics of precipitation formations, transformations into runoff, reservoir and lake dynamics, stream
flow discharge, surface runoff assessment, calculation of peak flows, the hydrograph theory, ground
water flows, aquifers dynamics, concept of water quality and water treatment methods and units. The
topics mentioned above will be covered in both qualitative and quantitative aspects. Use will be made of
essential concepts of energy, mass and momentum conservation. An intermediate level of integral and
differential calculus is required as well as knowledge and use of calculation software such as Excel and
Matlab.
