Hydrological Process and Principles

Aims

The main aim of this course is to provide the students a basic understanding of hydro-meteorological and hydrological processes together with the relationships between rainfall and run-off and hydrological measurements and modeling.

Course Outline         

• Introduction – Hydrology and hydrological processes; rainfall and runoff characteristics at a point and over large areas
• Measurement and monitoring of water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, stream flow, infiltration, percolation, and groundwater flow) and environmentally relevant applications based on case studies
• Hydrograph and unit hydrograph: flood hydrograph, unit hydrograph, synthetic hydrograph, etc
• Rainfall –Runoff Modeling, Flood Frequency Analysis and Probability Distribution
• Remote sensing and GIS applications in hydrometeorology
• Meteorological and hydrological forecasting for water resource management
