For all other civil 5th sem syllabus for diploma m scheme tndte you can visit Civil 5th Sem Syllabus for Diploma M Scheme TNDTE Subjects. For all other Elective Theory I subjects do refer to Elective Theory I. The detail syllabus for water resources management is as follows.
Rationale:
Diploma holders in civil engineering have to supervise the construction, repair and maintenance of canals, head works, river training works, cross drainage works, regulatory and other works. Some of diploma holders are also engaged for preventing water logging and irrigation by tubewells. This subject imparts knowledge regarding hydrology, flow irrigation – storage and distribution system, constructional features of head works, river training works, cross drainage works, causes and prevention of water logging and construction of tube wells.
Objectives:
On completion of the course, the student will be familiar with:
- To understand water resource potential in India and need for water resource management.
- To understand the components of hydrological cycle and hydrograph.
- To understand the occurrence of ground water and ground water exploration methods.
- To understand the ground water basin management concept.
- To study the classification of rivers and river training works.
- To know the different types of storage works and dam structures.
- To understand the distribution system of canals and management of canal irrigation.
- To understand the concept of water shed management including GIS approach.
- To study the types of detention basins and reclamation of water logged lands.
