    Hydraulic engineering is the application of fluid mechanics principles to water-related structures and facilities. It involves the flow and conveyance of water and its interactions with the surrounding environment. Hydraulic engineers are concerned with open channel flows, hydrodynamics, and the transport of sediment in rivers. They design structures like dams, bridges, canals, and water treatment systems. Hydraulic engineering is an important sub-discipline of civil engineering focused on managing and utilizing water resources.

    Hydraulic Engineering

    Hydraulic engineering is the Science of water in motion and its interactions with the

    surrounding environment. Water plays a major role in human perception of the environment because

    it is an indispensable element. More importantly Human Life is totally dependent upon water. The

    technical challenges facing hydraulic engineers are formidable and sustained research efforts are

    essential.

    The term 'Hydraulics' is related to the application of the Fluid Mechanics principles to water

    engineering structures, civil and environmental engineering facilities: e.g., canal, river, dam, reservoir,

    water treatment plant. Hydraulic engineering is the science of water in motion, and the interactions

    between the flowing fluid and the surrounding environment. Hydraulic engineers are concerned with

    application of the basic principles of fluid mechanics to open channel flows and real fluid flow

    hydrodynamics. Examples of open channels are natural streams and rivers. Man-made channels

    include irrigation and navigation canals, drainage ditches, sewer and culvert pipes running partially

    full, and spillways.

    Hydraulic Engineering as a sub-discipline of Civil Engineering is concerned with the flow and

    conveyance of fluids, principally water. This area of engineering is intimately related to the design of

    bridges, dams, channels, canals, and to both sanitary and environmental engineering.

    Hydraulic engineering is the application of the principles of fluid mechanics to problems

    dealing with the collection, storage, control, transport, regulation, measurement, and use of water.

    Before beginning a hydraulic engineering project, one must figure out how much water is involved.

    The hydraulic engineer is concerned with the transport of sediment by the river, the interaction of the

    water with its alluvial boundary, and the occurrence of scour and deposition. “The hydraulic engineer

    actually develops conceptual designs for the various features which interact with water such as

    spillways and outlet works for dams, culverts for highways, canals and related structures for irrigation

    projects, and cooling-water facilities for thermal power plants.”

    Civil engineers play a vital role in the optimal planning, design and operation of water resource

    systems. Job opportunities in hydrology and water resources are quite varied.
