Module Code and Title : HYD201 Hydrology
 Programme : BE in Water Resources Engineering 
Credit : 12 
Module Tutor : Pema Choden 

 General Objective: 

The objective of the module is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the processes and principles that govern the movement and distribution of water in natural systems. Students will gain knowledge of the hydrological cycle and develop an understanding of the variations in the occurrence, movement, and distribution of water in natural systems. 

 Learning Outcomes: 

On completion of the module, students will be able to: 

1. Demonstrate an understanding of the hydrological cycle and identify variations in flow and dispersion patterns. 

2. Evaluate the amount of precipitation using various methods and techniques. 

3. Calculate water losses due to evapotranspiration in a hydrological system.

 4. Apply the concept of hydrographs in the assessment of surface runoff using different methods. 

5. Quantify infiltration amounts using various infiltration methods.

 6. Utilize different Hydrometry instruments to estimate stream flow and water discharge. 

7. Apply the concept of hydrologic routing and its applications in water resource management. 

MAT204 is common to 2C, 2E, 2ECE, 2ICE and 2EG
