ENV2102 Applied Hydrology (FOENS)

Units 1.0 (Hydrology) Band 6

Recommended prior or concurrent study: ENV1101

Synopsis

This course provides an introduction to engineering hydrology in the Associate Degree and Bachelor of Engineering Technology programs. It seeks to provide the basic skills required to carry out hydrologic analyses and designs in accordance with current Australian practice as outlined in "Australian Rainfall and Runoff - A Guide to Flood Estimation". The topics covered include flood estimation, catchment yield, stormwater drainage, routing in channels and storages, reservoir design and groundwater hydrology, to enable the student to carry out basic hydrologic designs of dam spillways, bridges and culverts, urban drainage schemes, detention basins and flood mitigation dams, reservoir capacity and to estimate yield from groundwater systems.
