Description including Unit Aims
This unit consists of the following elements: Engineering Hydrology 2 - to give students a thorough grounding in the principles and practice of engineering hydrology and water resources; Open Channel Flow 2 - to give students a thorough grounding in open channel flow, hydraulic models and river engineering.
Aims:
Engineering Hydrology 2:
To give students a thorough grounding in the principles and practice of engineering hydrology.
Open Channel Flow 2:
To give students a solid grounding in open channel flow.
