ENV4107 Water Resources Engineering (FOENS)

Semester 2 (ONC)Toowoomba (EXT)Toowoomba

Units 1.0 (Hydrology) Band 6

Pre-requisite: (ENV3104 and ENV3105) or Students must be enrolled in one of the following Programs: GCEN or GDET or METC or MEPR

Synopsis

This course is designed as the upper level course for students electing to major in water engineering. It provides an insight into the management of water resources and the environment, the magnitude and utilisation of the resource, the management tools available and the controlling legislation. The course also provides an opportunity for students to be practiced in the use of complex computer simulation programmes available to practicing engineers, including free surface flow, stochastic hydrology, catchment and groundwater modelling. The course allows the integration of the material presented in the earlier courses under the segregated headings of hydraulics and hydrology. It relies heavily on the use of case studies, workshops and directed study assignments to enhance the programme of lectures.
