Synopsis

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  legislation. 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.
