This course will interactively engage students cognitively and scientifically in areas of hydrology and water resources. Hydrology is introduced as earth science that concerned with the distribution and movement of water on earth surface as well as for measuring present conditions and estimating future variations in water resources availability and demand. Students will describe the basic concepts of hydrology as a description of the water cycle and the role of water in the natural environment. Students are expected to be able to distinguish and evaluate the various sources of water supply and explain the various technologies of processed water, the advantages and disadvantages in solving waterrelated problems. The designated lecture session is used to discuss basic principles to solve a variety of hydrologic problems and basic calculation in water distribution and management which have implication for water resources management and conservation. The outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include the traditional paper examination, tests, written assignment and oral presentation and classroom engagement.
