DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

Course Title: Engineering Hydrology (CEng-3163) ECTS 5, Pre-requisites CEng (3162)


Year III, Semester II
Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to introduce the general principles and methods of hydrology in
engineering fields. It covers the introduction of hydrologic processes, elements of Hydrological
cycle, stream flow analysis, flood hydrograph, flood routing and flood frequency analysis. Besides
surface hydrology, ground water analysis will be dealt. The course mainly focuses to provide a
sound knowledge in the above areas so that the students will handle hydrological problems in a
real world
