Description
The student will be able to interpret requirement, carry out analyses of water supply and drainage systems. The student will also be able to define, quantify and formulate the concepts of flow measurement and survey drainage catchments.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Understand the concept of steady uniform flow and application. Analyse and solve various flow problems various channel types using this theory.
2.
Understand the theory and limitiations regarding the use of non critical flow measurment devices in open channels.
3.
Understand the concept of the hydrologial cycle, hydrographs and the unit hydrograph. Carry out basic analysis of flood prediction using unit hydrographs.
4.
Carry out detailed flow catchment survey, in which student works in a team. Detailed concise survey inclusive of bathometric, hydraulic and topographical survey to be completed by each student. Clear concise report to be produced and submitted by each student.
5.
|
Measure and intrepret data from laboratory experiments. Produce clear , concise and detailed reports on recorded data. |

Indicative Syllabus
Indicative Syllabus
- Principles of open channel flow for steady uniform flow , relationship between hydraulic gradient and channel slope in an open channel. Understand the limitations of the Chezy Equation and the Manning Formula. Determine flow rates and depths in rectangular, trapezoidal and circular channel and pipe sections.
- Determine the optimum geometry of rectangular and trapezoidal channels. Flow measurement in open channels using non critical flow devices, vee-notch, rectangular and Sutro weirs.
- The hydrological cycle. Meteorological data. Evaporation. Transpiration. Infiltration. Percolation. Surface runoff. Catchment characteristics. Rainfall/runoff correlation. Flow rating curves. Volume and duration of runoff.
- Hyetographs, catchment lag, hydrograph analysis. Components of a natural hydrograph. Baseflow and baseflow separation.
- Unit hydrograph. Derivation of the unit hydrograph. Introduction to the instantaneous unit hydrograph. synthetic unit hydrographs. Flow rate prediction using unit hydrographs.
Indicative Practicals/Projects
- Catchment survey to be commenced in week one. Field work inclusive of hydraulic, bathymetric and topographical survey to be carried out at two sites. Measured flow rates to be compared with OPW data. Stage curves to be produced for each site. Flow duration curves to be produced for each river catchment.
- Determine Mannings “n” and Chezy’s “c” for a rough and smooth channel bed.
- Design sewer and surface water pipeline using HRL charts and the Manning formula.
- Calibration of sharp crested thin plate weirs (vee-notch and rectangular).
- Construct a hydrograph for a storm of known intensity and duration. Estimate the storm loss. Separate the base flow.
- Construct a unit hydrograph for a given rainfall intensity and duration. Use data to predict flow rate for other rainfall event. Verify predicted flow rate in laboratory.
