Engineering Hydrology
Groundwater Hydraulics
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will have:
- The understanding of integrated management at the watershed level.
- The ability to calculate the water supply and availability of a watershed.
- The ability to calculate the water demand of different water uses
- The ability to calculate the hydrological and water balance of a river basin
- The ability to design and calculate the volume of a reservoir or other water storage project
- The ability to plan the operation and optimization of a water resource system
General Competences
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Respect natural environment
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
The aim of the course is to introduce:
- the concepts and techniques of river basin water resources management,
- the legislative framework governing water resources management at the Greek and European levels,
- the simulation and optimization of water resources systems and
- the development of river basin water resources management plans.
The student acquires knowledge of the study and design methodologies in the management of surface and groundwater resources of a catchment. The student shall acquire a theoretical and computational background for solving problems of watershed design and management of both natural and artificial water resources that may be found in a watershed.
An adequate knowledge of the course provides an important theoretical background for the design and planning of hydraulic works and related structures.
