Course Description:	The proper utilization of water resources remains one of the most vital contribution made to society by the civil engineers. The main objective of this course is to learn hydraulic structures, as dam engineering, embankments, etc. Dam construction represent a major investment in basic infrastructure of a country. The annual completion rate for dams of all size continues at a very high level in many countries. Dam are unique structures and they represent great complexity in their load response and their interactive relationship with site hydrology and geology. Hydraulic structures design it is a highly specialist activity which draws upon many scientific disciplines and balances them with a large element of engineering judgment; hydraulic structures engineering is thus a uniquely challenging and stimulating field of endeavor.
Course Objectives:	The course aims to get an amount of knowledge about the types ,functions and importance of hydraulic structures such as dams and barrages .The criteria of design and analysis for many cases will be covered .The students will be able to read the contour and topo maps which required for design purposes. The forces applied for structures will be calculated and considered in design. The course will lead the students to be able to carry out the design of structures and analyzed the results to check the stability and safety .
