Q1:
What do you expect to learn in Engineering Hydrology?
Q2:
Why do you learn Engineering Hydrology in Civil Engineering?
Hydrology
NO LIFE WITHOUT WATER
Forms of Water
World’s Water Resources
Total Water Resources 1.36 × 108 Μ ha-m
Hydrology
The science of the waters of the earth and its atmosphere.
It deals with occurrence, circulation, distribution and
movements of these waters over the globe and their
interaction with the physical and biological environments.
The study of water in all its forms, and from its origins to all its
destinations on the earth is called hydrology.
Hydrology is the science, which deals with the occurrence,
distribution and disposal of water on the planet earth; it is the
science which deals with the various phases of the hydrologic
cycle.

Scope of Engineering Hydrology
1. Hydrology is used to find out maximum probable flood at
proposed sites e.g., Dams.
2. The variation of water production from catchments can be
calculated and described by hydrology.
3. Engineering hydrology enables us to find out the relationship
between a catchment’s surface water and groundwater resources
4. The expected flood flows over a spillway, at a highway Culvert, or
in an urban storm drainage system can be known by this very
subject.
5. It helps us to know the required reservoir capacity to assure
adequate water for irrigation or municipal water supply in droughts
condition.
6. It tells us what hydrologic hardware (e.g., rain gauges, stream
gauges etc.) and software (computer models) are needed for real-
time flood forecasting
Hydrologic Data
1. Climatological data
2. Hydrometeorological data like temperature, wind velocity,
humidity, etc.
3. Precipitation records
4. Stream-flow records
5. Seasonal fluctuation of ground water table or piezometric heads
6. Evaporation data
7. Cropping pattern, crops and their consumptive use
8. Water quality data of surface streams and ground water
9. Geomorphologic studies of the basin, like area, shape and slope
of the basin, mean and median elevation, mean temperature (as
well as highest and lowest temperature recorded) and other
physiographic characteristics of the basin; stream density and
drainage density; tanks and reservoirs
Hydrologic Data
10. Hydrometeorological characteristics of basin:
(a) a.a.r., long term precipitation, space average over the basin
using isohyets and several other methods
(b) Depth-area-duration (DAD) curves for critical storms (station
equipped with self-recording rain gauges).
(c) Isohyetal maps—Isohyets may be drawn for long-term average,
annual and monthly precipitation for individual years and months
(d) Cropping pattern—crops and their seasons
(e) Daily, monthly and annual evaporation from water surfaces in
the basin
(f) Water balance studies of the basin
(g) Chronic problems in the basin due to a flood-menacing river or
silt menacing river
(h) Soil conservation and methods of flood control
Hydrologic Equation
The hydrologic equation is simply the statement of the law of
conservation of matter and is given by
I = O + ΔS
where I = inflow
O = outflow
ΔS = change in storage
This equation states that during a given period, the total inflow into
a given area must equal the total outflow from the area plus the
change is storage. While solving this equation, the groundwater is
considered as an integral part of the surface water, and it is the
subsurface inflow and outflow that pose problems in the water
balance studies of a basin.
