| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The main objective of this course is to learn how to plan and conduct experiments. The themes encompass pipeline flows, open channel flows, seepage flows, transport phenomena, density flows, irrigation and drainage, hydrology, and hydro-ecology. Experimental flumes and hydraulic apparatus are available for laboratory tests, while several field sites are set up in real water bodies including agricultural canals, reservoirs, rivers, lakes, estuaries, and aquifers. | ||
| Course Goals | Develop the skills to collect, analyze, summarize, and present information related to research topics. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
Conduct experiments on topics related to water resources engineering, including the following: 1. Field surveys Surveys on water use and management in water use systems over a large area Experiments related to the hydraulics, water quality and aquatic organisms of reservoir and water supply systems Surveys on the hydraulics and water quality of underground waters 2. Physics experiments Experiments on steady and unsteady open-channel flows Experiments on steady and unsteady pipe flows Seepage flow experiments 3. Numerical experiments Computer-generated replications of phenomena observed and measured under 1 and 2 |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Grading will be based on an overall evaluation of experiments and efforts made to understand the results. Refer to current year's 'Guide to Degree Programs' for attainment levels of evaluation. |
||
| Course Requirements | Basic knowledge of hydraulics (including experimental and calculation techniques), water resources science, and water-use systems engineering is required. | ||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Collect information on research topics. | ||
