CEE 453 — Urban Hydrology and Hydraulics

COURSE REFERENCE NUMBER (CRN): 44664

Course Description: This is an intermediate-level course on hydrology and hydraulics relating to drainage of surface water. Although much of the emphasis is on runoff from urbanized or urbanizing areas, the principles and tools learned in this course will be useful for any drainage problems. The goal is for you to learn hydrologic and hydraulic analysis tools useful for solving today’s surface drainage problems - analysis tools that can be used for the structural approach of design and build, and the nonstructural approach of planning, operation, and management. Covered materials range from traditional procedures to new developments near the forefront of the technology.
