Good morning.
I have an instructor looking to replace the current lab manual for her Water Management
Structures course in the College of Engineering. The course has been using a book that was
written by an instructor in the department who retired almost 30 years ago. The students
currently pay $65 for it.
Below are the learning outcomes. If anyone has a text or some resources that might do the
trick, please let me know.
As a result of taking this course, the student should:
* Have a basic understanding of the principles applicable to the design of hydraulic
structures;
* Be able to apply the three basic equations governing fluid flow (continuity, energy
and momentum equations) and other fluid flow principles to hydraulic structure design;
* Understand the uses, applications and analysis procedures of various types of
hydraulic structure, including dams and spillways, and irrigation, drainage and related
structures;
* Be able to prepare detailed design notes that are neat, complete, and properly
referenced;
* Be familiar with the materials that may be used in the design and construction of
hydraulic structures;
* Develop an understanding of various aspects of water resources engineering,
particularly with respect to water control;
* Be aware of the use and application of physical hydraulic models in the development
of hydraulic structure design criteria; and
* Have an understanding of dam safety and other aspects of safety associated with
hydraulic structures as well of environmental regulations pertaining to work in
waterbodies.
