Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Students are provided with an understanding of the elements and behaviour of hydraulic systems to enable them to design both elements of, and in some cases, complete hydraulic systems. Topics covered include the relationship between climate, landscape, catchment, effective runoff, flow estimation and hydraulic structures; the hydrological cycle; data acquisition and stream gauging; estimation of run-off from a catchment; flood routing through reservoirs and channels; computer modelling of urban drainage and sewerage; flood mitigation; design of culverts and retarding basins; hydraulic jumps and channel transitions.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Articulate the relationship between climate, landscape, catchment, effective runoff, flow estimation and hydraulic structures.
- Activities:
- Field excursions into the Axe Creek and Eppalock catchments together with field demonstrations of stream gauging and data acquisition at multiple gauging sites are undertaken. Students are required to demonstrate competency in completing assignments and examination questions.

02. Calculate the effective runoff from catchments and determine the 'time of concentration' using multiple methods.
- Activities:
- Design solutions in hydraulic design can be derived from a number of methods for the calculation of the 'time of concentration'. Students are required to know which is the most appropriate method to apply to a particular situation. These will be taught in discussed in lectures and tutorials. Students are required to demonstrate competency in completing set problems and examination questions.
