Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering for B.Tech 5th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering B.Tech (R13) fifthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To introduce the student to the concept of hydrological aspects of water availability and requirements and should be able to quantify, control and regulate the water resources.
UNIT I :PRECIPITATION AND ABSTRACTIONS [10 hours]
Hydrological cycle- Meteorological measurements – Requirements, types and forms of precipitation – Rain gauges-Spatial analysis of rainfall data using Thiessen and Isohyetal methods Interception – Evaporation. Horton‟s equation, pan evaporation measurements and evaporation suppression – Infiltration Horton‟s equation – double ring infiltrometer, infiltration indices.
UNIT II: RUNOFF [8 hours]
Watershed, catchment and basin – Catchment characteristics – factors affecting runoff – Run off estimation using empirical – Strange‟s table and SCS methods – Stage discharge relationships- flow measurements- Hydrograph – Unit Hydrograph – IUH
UNIT III : FLOOD AND DROUGHT [9 hours]
Natural Disasters-Flood Estimation- Frequency analysis- Flood control- Definitions of droughtsMeteorological, hydrological and agricultural droughts- IMD method-NDVI analysis- Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP)
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES: The students completing the course will have
- an understanding of the key drivers on water resources, hydrological processes and their integrated behaviour in catchments,
- ability to construct and apply a range of hydrological models to surface water and groundwater problems including Hydrograph, Flood/Drought management, artificial recharge
- ability to conduct Spatial analysis of rainfall data and design water storage reservoirs
