CE74.11 : Watershed Hydrology 3(3-0)
Course objectives:
The objective of this course is to develop students’ advanced knowledge in understanding all aspects of hydrologic cycle and
transport processes, and their applications to engineering problems and hydrologic design for water supply, urban drainage, flood
control etc.
Learning Outcomes:
The students on completion of this course would be able to:
Comprehend the hydrologic processes (physical and chemical), including exchange processes between atmosphere and
soil surface, surface runoff, and groundwater flow;
Formulate hydrological processes in mathematical terms, and employ mathematical and computational techniques to solve
water and environmental problems;
Comprehend and recognize the limitations of hydrological data in design of water development and management projects;
and
Apply hydrological theories and principles to water problems, and where necessary further develop hydrological science for
engineering applications.
Pre-requisite(s):
None

II. Hydrologic Transport

1. Water quality
2. Erosion and sediment transport

Time Distribution and Study Load:

Classroom lectures 45h
Tutorials 10h
Field visits 5h
Self-study (incl. assignments) 135h
Teaching and Learning Methods:

Teaching and learning methods include classroom lectures and discussions, tutorials, individual and group
assignments, and field visits. Field visits are designed to expose students to hydro-meteorological instruments
and equipment, and with river flow gauging stations. Published journal articles are provided to the students for
self-study to enhance their understanding on links between hydrologic theories and practice/applications.
Evaluation Scheme:
The final grade is computed according to the following weight distribution: Mid-semester Exam (30%), Final Exam (50%) and
Assignments including lab/field visit report (20%). Open-book examination is given in both mid-semester and final exams.
An “A” will be awarded if a student is able to fully understand the range of hydrologic processes and related contents, and is
adequately able to apply the knowledge gained to real-time situations. A student is in this category will typically participate, and
contribute, actively in class discussions and group assignments. A “B” will be awarded if a student shows an overall understanding
of all the given topics. However, application of knowledge into practice is found wanting. A “C” will be given if a student is able to
show satisfactory command over the subject matter. A “D” will be given if a student displays very limited knowledge of the subject
matter, and does not appear motivated to learn new things.
