Course Description:	-
Course Objectives:	This course is designed to present the principles of advanced hydrology at a postgraduate level and to provide a balanced approach to important applications in hydrologic engineering and science. Fundamental mechanisms of hydrologic cycle with the probabilistic approaches will be discussed in a logical progression. Several numerical problems will be solved to illustrate the concepts. At the end of the course, the student is expected to have a thorough understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of various components of hydrologic cycle e.g. atmospheric water, rainfall, infiltration, evaporation, surface flow, sub-surface flow, groundwater flow, and hydrograph analysis; The student must know the statistical techniques such as statistical properties of a PDF, probability distributions employed in hydrology, fitting probability distributions, the goodness testing fit, frequency analysis, and reliability analysis.
