CV 4100 - Hydrology4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course provides in-depth coverage of the principles of hydrology, building upon the introductory material covered in CV 310 . Topics include the hydrologic principles and analysis, frequency analysis and risk, hydrologic flood routing of reservoirs and streams, hydrologic simulation using HEC-HMS, urban hydrology, radar rainfall estimates, the use of GIS hydrologic analysis, and watershed erosion and reservoir sedimentation. (prereq: CV 310 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Develop design flow rates (low flow, peak flow, flow duration, firm yield, design hydrographs) for engineering designs
- Calculate infiltration, evapotranspiration, snowmelt, and runoff using various methods.
- Disaggregate hydrographs into base and wet weather flow components
- Apply appropriate methods to determine time of concentration
- Develop synthetic hydrographs
- Apply unit hydrographs to develop storm hydrographs
- Characterize, using statistical methods, raw river flow and precipitation data
- Estimate return intervals of extreme hydrologic phenomena
- Perform hydrologic routing of flow through reservoirs and streams
- Perform hydrologic modeling of a watershed using a computer model (i.e. HEC-HMS)
- Estimate erosion potential of soils and impacts of sedimentation on reservoirs
- Use geographic information systems to obtain hydrologic data
