Course Objectives The aim is to introduce the Hydrology and Water Resources Science with giving basic information on the development of water resources and to introduce the necessary methodologies. The students gain skills on the water resources problems.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Define the elements of the hydrological cycle.
  • Measure and evaluate the hydrologic data.
  • Evaluate the groundwater flow in the scope of civil engineering.
  • Determine the reservoir capacities and discuss their operation.
  • Determine hydrologic parameters by statistic methods.
Course Description In this course, basic information about the basin and hydrologic cycle is introduced. The course covers the principles of precipitation, evaporation and seepage by introducing statistical methods in hydrology.
