Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering Course (Classroom, Synchronous & Asynchronous)

About This Course

"This course introduces the basic principles of water resources planning and analysis, including flow through pressurised pipe systems, free surface flow, and engineering hydrology. The course aims to equip practicing engineers on planning and design concepts of water resources infrastructure.

This module comes in two parts. Part 1 of the course covers principles and applications of pressurised pipe flow, hydraulic design of pipelines, use of pumps and turbines, urban hydraulics and water distribution systems. Section on free surface open channel flow covers topics of uniform flow, critical depth, gradually varied flow and calculation of surface profiles. Part 2 covers fundamental concepts of engineering hydrology such as: response of catchment system to rainfall; frequency analysis of rainfall and floods, hydrological design of flood, reservoirs, and water retention areas. Other topics include flood risk estimation and analysis of potential effects of climate change in rainfall extremes. "
