Course Description: -
Course Objectives: A study of the engineering principles involved in analyzing the quantity and quality of water in natural and developed systems. An introduction to surface water and groundwater hydrology for engineers. This subject aims at making the students to understand the relevance of various components of hydrologic cycle, which are responsible for spatial and temporal distribution of water availability in any region.
