3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVE:
To make students understand the various hydrological processes, estimate the surface and
groundwater resources of a drainage basin and to estimate the hydrologic extremes i.e. floods
and droughts and their management.
UNIT I HYDROLOGIC PROCESSES 9
Introduction – Hydrometeorology - Hydrologic cycle - Precipitation and its types -
measurements - evaporation, evapotranspiration, infiltration and other abstractions.
UNIT II SURFACE RUNOFF 9
Drainage basins – hydrologic losses and rainfall excess – hydrograph analysis – unit
hydrograph – S-curve Synthetic unit hydrograph – Rainfall-runoff models - SCS method –
stream flow measurements.
UNIT III GROUNDWATER 9
Groundwater concepts – properties and types of aquifer – saturated flow – steady state one
dimensional flow – steady state well hydraulics – unsteady groundwater flow – Theis method
and Jacobs method – Ground Water Estimation by GEC norms - geophysical exploration -
sea water intrusion.
UNIT IV RESERVOIR PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT 9
Single and multipurpose projects – dams – types – fixation of storage capacity – Strategies for
reservoir operation – reservoir sedimentation.
UNIT V FLOODS AND DROUGHTS 9
Definition of floods and droughts – frequency analysis – flood control measures – Inter basin
water transfer – drought indices - drought prone area programme – artificial recharge – rain
water harvesting.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
