Module I<br />
Basic concept <strong>of</strong> Hydrology and Hydrology cycle- Graphical representation <strong>of</strong> rainfall data- Analysis <strong>of</strong> rain fall<br />
data- Correlation <strong>of</strong> rainfall records- intensity duration and frequency relation ship-DAD curves-Design storm<br />
and PMP –Consistency <strong>of</strong> rainfall data- double mass analysis. Water losses-interception-evaporation-method <strong>of</strong><br />
estimation-Evapotranspiration- method <strong>of</strong> estimation-infiltration-method <strong>of</strong> estimation.<br />
Module II<br />
Run<strong>of</strong>f – stream network-ordering, characteristics – estimation <strong>of</strong> run<strong>of</strong>f- Rational method SCS method - Unit<br />
hydrograph analysis(Sherman&Bernard distribution graph)- S hydrograph-unit hydrograph from Complex<br />
storms- synthetic unit hydrograph- instantaneous unit hydrograph-Linear reservoir model.<br />
Stream gauging- Area velocity method- current meter- rating <strong>of</strong> current meter- Stage discharge rating curve-<br />
Extension <strong>of</strong> stage discharge rating curve- Adjustment <strong>of</strong> stage discharge rating curve- selection <strong>of</strong> site for a<br />
stream gauging station.<br />
Module III<br />
Floods and their estimation- definition, causes, design flood, chance flood, estimation <strong>of</strong> design flood, and flood<br />
frequency- empirical formula such as Dicken’s, Ryves- statistical method – California method- Gumbel’s<br />
