HYDROLOGIC DATA ANALYSIS

CIVENGR 416

Water supply and demand are increasingly stressed by climate, population, land-use, policy, etc. Presents a variety of systems analysis techniques for water resources planning and management. Deterministic and stochastic optimization and simulation models will be developed and applied. Problems addressed include water supply, water quality, and river basin development.

CIVENGR 414

An introduction to the design of engineering structures which control and/or utilize runoff, emphasizing the sizing of structures to meet hydrologic uncertainty. Applies principles and techniques from several disciplines, including hydrology, hydraulics, probability and statistics. Specific techniques include flood frequency analysis; risk analysis; design storm and historic storm techniques; rainfall-runoff modeling.

CIVENGR 515

Introduction to various strategies for integrating climate science into water resources, specifically addressing climatic influences on hydrologic variables, the prospects for prediction, and the implications on water management and development. Consider both space and time variability of hydrological processes in the context of sub-seasonal, seasonal, and climate change time-scales.

CIVENGR 311

Introduction to the water cycle, its relationship to the environment and human attempts to conserve, control, and utilize water judiciously. Fundamentals of hydrology, hydraulics, coastal engineering and water resources engineering.
