This unit provides the knowledge of open channel hydraulics is fundamental to water resources development, the preservation of water quality, and the enhancement of the environment. Water resources engineering and hydrology has, along with other areas of engineering knowledge, exploded in the past four decades. To some degree, this explosion is due to the advent of the high-speed digital computer and the movement of computational power to the desks of every practicing professional and student. In addition, the concerns of society with both the preservation and restoration of the aquatic environment has led hydrologic and hydraulic engineers to consider problems that were not seriously considered before. Students will understand how the channel types can be changed according to the flow and discharge and velocities of water. They will identify surface roughness, channel types, fluid flows, energy loss and the changes of depth of flow.They will work in class with other students and in group to discuss the engineering concerned with open channel hydraulic. They will present your presentation in a professional manner to peer group for feedback.
