Learning Outcomes

1. Analyse pipe networks in terms of steady flows and heads, unsteady water hammer and surge flows in pipelines, free surface waves, hydraulic jumps and tidal bores, and varied channel flow and friction.

2. Design flood routing and management systems on the basis of an in-depth understanding of meteorological prediction and the hydrologic cycle from the precipitation to evaporation, infiltration and groundwater processes using unit hydrographs and rational runoff equation.

3. Apply commonly used environmental tools for environmental design, monitoring, control and remediation.

4. Review the social, economic and institutional factors affecting environmental engineering practice
