The unit introduces you to the basic concepts of hydrology and their application in the engineering practice. The key features of the main components of the hydrologic cycle (i.e., rainfall, streamflow, and evapotranspiration) are presented along with methods to measure and model them in natural and urban environments. Particular emphasis is on flooding and designed floods. The unit also provides an overview of the various water systems in an urban environment, their functions and modes of operation, and the influence of climate variability on urban requirements in terms of management and discharge of stormwater. A final aspect is the activation and transport of contaminants within the urban water cycle.
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
