A.     Course Description  (Approved catalog description.)

Surface and ground-water hydrology/hydraulic concepts as related to rainfall/runoff and surface and  ground-water drainage.  Open and closed channel hydraulics will be studied. 

B.     Related Program Outcomes: 

1.      A development of mathematical skills sufficient to solve and analyze technical problems associated with construction projects including building, highway, and heavy construction. 

2.      The ability to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of common construction methods and design procedures associated with building, highway, and heavy construction projects. 

C.    Course Objectives: 

Upon the completion of this course the student will have:

1.      An understanding of the fundamental hydrodynamic and hydrostatic principles. 

2.      The ability to estimate peak flows of stormwater runoff for use in design of hydraulic conveyances. 

3.      The ability to design an open channel for a given runoff volume and estimate the volume of flow within a natural watercourse. 

4.      The ability to design a sewer system for given runoff volumes. 

5.      The ability to design pipe culverts for given runoff volumes. 

6.      The ability to design a stormwater detention basin for a given set of criteria. 

7.      An understanding of erosion causes and sediment control practices used to combat them. 

8.      The ability to use Haestad Methods Software in the design and analysis of stormwater management problems.
