Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the science of hydrology, which is becoming increasingly important today, to provide them with an engineering perspective on the components of the water cycle, and to lay the foundation for future courses in fluid mechanics and hydraulics.

Course Content

Water cycle, distribution of water in space and time, precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, groundwater flow, flow records and analysis, river basins, snowmelt, and hydrograph analysis.

Learning Outcomes

Code	Description
LO1	Students learn the elements of the hydrological cycle and understand its importance in civil engineering applications.
LO2	Students learn about groundwater flow from a civil engineering perspective.
LO3	They gain the ability to measure hydrological data and analyze measurements.
LO4	They acquire the ability to understand flow, a hydrological cycle element that directly affects civil engineering, and to use hydrograph theory, frequently used in our country for evaluating flows.
