CE6001 HYDROLOGY   L T P C 3 0 0 3

OBJECTIVES:
 To impart knowledge on hydrological cycle, spatial and temporal measurement and analysis of rainfall and their applications including flood routing and ground water hydrology.

UNIT I                                                PRECIPITATION                                                              (9)
 Hydrologic cycle – Types of precipitation – Forms of precipitation – Measurement of Rainfall – Spatial measurement methods – Temporal measurement methods – Frequency analysis of point rainfall – Intensity, duration, frequency relationship – Probable maximum precipitation.

UNIT II                                             ABSTRACTION FROM PRECIPITATION                          (9)
 Losses from precipitation – Evaporation process – Reservoir evaporation – Infiltration process – Infiltration capacity – Measurement of infiltration – Infiltration indices – Effective rainfall.

UNIT III                                           HYDROGRAPHS                                                                   (9)
 Factors affecting Hydrograph – Baseflow separation – Unit hydrograph – Derivation of unit hydrograph – S curve hydrograph – Unit hydrograph of different deviations - Synthetic Unit Hydrograph

UNIT IV                                           FLOODS AND FLOOD ROUTING                                       (9)
 Flood frequency studies – Recurrence interval – Gumbel‟s method – Flood routing – Reservoir flood routing – Muskingum‟s Channel Routing – Flood control

UNIT V                                             GROUND WATER HYDROLOGY                                       (9)
 Types of aquifers – Darcy‟s law – Dupuit‟s assumptions – Confined Aquifer – Unconfined Aquifer – Recuperation test – Transmissibility – Specific capacity – Pumping test – Steady flow analysis only.

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS 

OUTCOMES:
 The students gain the knowledge needed on hydrologic cycle, hydrometeorology and formation of precipitation.
 The students are able to apply the various methods of field measurements and empirical formulae for estimating the various losses of precipitation, stream flow, flood and flood routing.
 The students will know the basics of groundwater and hydraulics of subsurface flows.
