CE 428 Hydrosystems Engineering And Management

Credit Structure: (3-0)3

Catalog Description:
Introduction. Descriptions of hydrosystems, the systems concept, economics of hydrosystems, system analysis techniques, linear programming applications, uncertainty and reliability analysis of hydrosystems, applications in surface and groundwater systems.

Course Objectives:
To provide a systematic framework for hydrosystems modelling in engineering and management. Focus will be on bringing together the use of economics, operations research, probability and statistics with the use of hydrology, hydraulics, and water resources for the analysis, design, operation and management of water projects.
