This course introduces the principles and applications of water resources engineering, focusing on how water moves, is stored, and can be managed in natural and human-made systems. Students will learn how to analyze catchments, estimate runoff, and design systems for water supply, irrigation, and flood control.
The course combines theory with practical tools such as HEC-HMS for hydrologic modeling and decision-making. It also emphasizes sustainable management, showing how engineering solutions connect with environmental and social needs. By the end of the course, students will understand the main components of the hydrologic cycle, evaluate water demands, and apply engineering approaches to solve real-world water challenges.
