Module Code and Title : EVE301 Hydrology
 Programme : BE in Civil 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. 

Follow the instructions below:

1. Don't leave questions unattended.
2. Don't forget to press 'finish attempt' and press 'submit all and finish'. Otherwise your quiz attempt may not be recorded, and maybe assessed 'zero' in quiz.
   
3. Don't discuss while attempting the quiz. If completed, remain in quiet or lie down in the class.
   

The aim is to provide an introduction to the fundamental concepts of probability and statistics, as tools for decision making and expose students to basic theory and practice of statistics, with reference to Engineering disciplines. Develop problem solving abilities through examples and communicate the results graphically in a readily understandable format.

Engineering Physics-1
This course covers fundamental physics concepts for engineering, including mechanics, waves, optics, and modern physics. Students will enhance problem-solving skills and apply physics principles to real-world engineering scenarios through lectures and experiments.

General Objective:😃

This module introduces students to the science of climate change, including its causes, impacts, and adaptation strategies. Students will learn about the natural and human-caused factors that are driving climate change, as well as the methods used to detect and model climate variability. They will also learn about the specific requirements of climate change adaptation for water resources management.

Learning Outcomes:👋

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

1. Explain climate change and the factors contributing to it.

2. Identify different processes and interplay between the climate system and the global water.

3. Understand the climate change influences on water resources and the associated uncertainties, vulnerabilities, and risks.

4. Apply climate models and data assimilation for model result analysis.

5. Outline the difference between natural and anthropogenic-induced climate change.

6. Explain the necessity for integrated assessment, alternative policy and innovative  management solutions to develop water policy guidelines.

7. Propose solutions to building resilience, adaptation strategies, and interventions needed in a sustainable response to changing climate.
