| Outline and Purpose of the Course | To supply the quality and quantity of water required in benefited areas, it is essential to rationally design and manage water-use systems, such as dams, diversion works, and canal works. This course will deepen students' understanding of such water-use systems and their practical design and management methods based on hydraulic engineering. | |||
| Course Goals |
1. To be able to explain water resources and water-use systems generally. 2. To be able to explain dam components and their functions. 3. To be able to explain the components of headworks and their functions. 4. To be able to explain the components of the waterway system and their functions. |

| Schedule and Contents |
1-4: On-site tours (Friday, September 30 from 8:30 to 17:00); please pay attention to the date. 5-7: About water-use systems engineering and dams: Main specifications of dams and reservoirs, hydraulic design of spillway, and intake structure 8-12: Diversion works: Basic specifications of the headworks, examination of the effects on flood control on the upstream of the weir, and hydraulic design of intakes, the bed elevation of movable weirs, hydraulic design of scouring sluice, design of riprap, design of fishways, design method for settling basins, and design of mountain stream intake construction 13-14: Canal works: Basic knowledge of waterway facilities, open channels, and pipelines. 15: Feedback |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Students' performance will be evaluated in the on-site tour report (20 points), other reports (20 points), and exams (60 points). Grading criteria and policies are based on the grading criteria and policies described in the Handbook of the Faculty of Agriculture for the applicable year. |
|||
| Course Requirements |
Recommended: courses in hydraulics and water resources utilization. The first through fourth fields excursion will be held on Friday, September 30, during the summer holidays, and students should participate. Field excursion makes the lectures much easier to understand by giving students a tour of the actual site. |
|||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Previewing lectures is not required, but you should review what you have learned in class. In addition, since knowledge of hydraulics is necessary, review the courses of hydraulics and experiments on hydraulics. | |||
| Textbooks | Textbooks/References | Additional materials will be distributed during the course. | ||
| References, etc. | Will be introduced during the course. | |||
