Hydrology

A knowledge of engineering hydrology is essential for specialist water engineers. It is also important for engineers employed in other engineering positions, such as local government authorities. Engineers employed by these authorities need to determine the design capacity of these structures by estimating the runoff from the catchments draining to them.  

This course will familiarise you with a range of important surface and groundwater hydrological processes.  It stresses stochastic nature of many hydrological processes and present some of the probabilistic approaches used.
