Course Title : Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering

Instructor-in-charge : SANGHAMITRA KUNDU

Instructor : Ajit Pratap Singh

Scope and Objective of the Course:This course is an introduction to the field of Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering. Thestudy covers basic fundamentals of water resources engineering such as hydrologic cycle,rainfall, runoff, reservoir planning, Introduction to dams, spillways, diversion headworks anddistribution systems Flood routing, Systems Analysis techniques for planning, Ground Waterhydrology, Water withdrawals and uses, River basin management. The unified approach willenable students to tackle the real life problems in more comprehensive manner and provide abroader view on the subject.Text Books:T1.
