Course Description:	This course aims to develop the understanding of basic principles and concepts of analysis and design of hydraulic structures such as weirs and barrages, canal falls and various river training works. The course also intends to learn the detailed design principles of canal transitions and regulation works
Course Objectives:	The main objective of this course is: To develop understanding of the basic principles and concepts of analysis and design of hydraulic structures. Integrate the hydraulics and water resources background by involving the students in water structures design applications. ‐ Introduce the students to professional practice and design codes. ‐ Encourage class discussions for formulating and solving multi‐variable hydraulic design problems in an open‐ended solution space.
