| Brief description of the Unit |
The key objective of this unit is the development of the skills required to analyse and design an urban water supply system. This unit also introduces students to fundamental hydrological and hydraulic theories. The unit places particular emphasis on the fundamental basis for the estimation of the flow in the catchment and open channel flow hydraulics and estimating runoff for design of drainage structures. |
