Course Name : Hydrology and Irrigation

Code(Credit) : CUTM1071(1-1-1)

Course Objectives

  •  To study the basic principles and movement of ground water and properties
    of ground water flow.
     To study the watershed characters and applications. To study the ground water resources mapping and surface water resources
    mapping.

     To study the hydrological disaster and role of earth observation
    technology.

Learning Outcomes


  •  An ability to manipulate hydrological data and undertake widely used data
    analysis.
     An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools
    related to groundwater modelling. Project oriented skills shall be gained by students to work efficiently
    in survey, planning, design and construction in irrigation sector.
