Credit: 12 (Core)
This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the hydrological cycle, enabling the students to analyze and quantify its various components such as precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, runoff, groundwater flow, and stream flow. Through a blend of practical applications and theoretical exploration, students will cultivate advanced skills in estimating flood magnitudes and designing essential hydraulic structures, including dams, reservoirs, spillways, and storm drainage systems. Moreover, they will develop the proficiency to assess crop water requirements and devise optimized water distribution networks, tailored to meet agricultural needs and enhance overall water resource management strategies.
Credit: 9 (Elective)
This course aims to provide an introduction to probability theory and stochastic processes, emphasizing their applications in hydrologic analysis and design. The curriculum covers contemporary methods for analyzing and synthesizing time series, specifically tailored for modeling hydro-climatic sequences. Through a blend of theoretical concepts and practical examples, the course equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary for applying these techniques in real-world scenarios especially the fields of hydrology and water resources engineering.
