CVE 211, CVE 212. Characterization and analysis of the hydrologic cycle and associated hydrologic abstractions. Statistical analysis of hydrologic events, hydrologic routing, and the effects of urbanization on the hydrologic response of a watershed. Application of the principles of the conservation of mass, energy, and momentum to open channel flow phenomena. Analysis of open channel hydraulic structures and floodplain hydraulics.
Emphasis is on computer applications and numerical methods.
Analysis and hydraulic design of water resource engineering subsystems including subsurface drainage, pressure flow systems, pumps and turbines, reservoirs, spillways, and landfills. Analysis of the physical properties and the resultant ground water flow in porous media. Application of the principles of the conservation and mass, energy, and momentum to ground water flow systems. Includes well hydraulics, well design, aquifer analysis, infiltration, flow in the unsaturated zone, and introduction to ground water contamination. Theoretical concepts from inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry applied to water chemistry and environmental engineering issues.
