This unit is designed as the upper level unit 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 into the controlling legisation. The unit also provides an opportunity for students to be practiced in the use of complex computer simulation programmes available to practicing engineers, for pipeline systems, free surface flow, stochastic hydrology, catchment and groundwater modelling. The unit allows the integration of the material presented in the earlier units 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.
