Engineering Hydrology

Engineering Hydrology: 1. What we study in hydrology?2. Scope of Hydrology 3. Engineering Hydrology: Uses of Engineering Hydrology4. Branches of Hydrology 5. Hydrological Cycle 6. Catchment & Basin, watershed & stream order 7. Water Balance Components 8. Precipitation 9. Mechanism of Precipitation, Types of Precipitation, Measurement, Hydrological Soil GroupsWhat we study in Hydrology: In hydrology we study Hydrologic cycle, its processes, water balance, precipitation types,estimation of precipitation, and analysis of precipitation data. We also study infiltration phenomena, solution of the Richard¿s equation and approximate infiltration models. Methods of measurement of stream flow, stage discharge relation, unit hydrograph theory, Transposition of Hydrograph, Synthesis of hydrograph from basin characteristics, stream flow routing, flood frequency analysis and attenuation of flood flows are also studied in Hydrology.
