COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES

This course covers the basic hydrologic concepts of the hydrologic cycle, probability and statistics

in hydrology, precipitation, infiltration and soil moisture, runoff processes, stream and reservoir

routing, with applications in water resources and environmental engineering.

Upon the completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Compute water balances

2. Conceptualize rainfall mechanisms

3. Analyze rainfall data

4. Develop design storms

5. Explain infiltration and runoff mechanisms

6. Apply infiltration models

7. Interpret streamflow data

8. Explain the origins of baseflow.

9. Apply baseflow separation methods

10. Apply unit hydrographs and related transformation methods

11. Implement river routing methods

12. Implement reservoir routing methods

13. Compute evaporation

PREREQUISITES FOR COURSE

Requires prerequisite course of CVEN 3313 or AREN 2120 or CHEN 3200 or MCEN 3021 (all

minimum grade C-). Requires prerequisite or corequisite course of CVEN 3227 or APPM 4570 or

MCEN 3047 or CHEN 3010 or GEEN 3853 (all minimum grade C-).

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Principles, processes, and control of nonpoint source pollution. Particular emphasis is placed on

non-point source (NPS) problems associated with urban runoff, agricultural influences on water

quality, and impacts of mining and forestry. Surface and ground water pollution in diverse

aquatic systems including stream, river, lake, reservoir, estuarine environments are considered.

Students are exposed to a variety of structural and non-structural management practices.

PREREQUISITES FOR COURSE

Recommended prerequisite course of CVEN4333 (Engineering Hydrology).

COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES

The course examines water systems in the urban environment in an integrated manner rather

than in isolation. Subjects emphasized are the intersection of water supply, wastewater

collection, stormwater management, groundwater, and surface water. Focus is placed on

analyzing the behavior of urban water distribution and collection systems using model

applications. Students completing this course will be able to understand local urban water

resources problems, effectively use complementary urban water models, and examine the

interactions between water supply, drainage systems, surface water, and groundwater.

Upon the completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Describe relationships between water infrastructure and the environment.

2. Demonstrate the relationship between urban water policy and water use.

3. Use statistics to describe how streamflow changes urbanization.

4. Develop models for water distribution systems

5. Appraise approaches to urban water demand management.

6. Develop models for stormwater drainage systems

7. Analyze primary information from journal articles related to urban water
