Overview
In this unit, you will be introduced to the principles of hydraulics and hydrology and how to apply solutions to solve water engineering problems. This unit introduces the principles to solve water resources engineering problems on catchment hydrology and urban floodwater management. You will study governing concepts of probability, risk, and uncertainty applied to hydrology and hydraulics. You will also study rainfall patterns, river and reservoir routing, rapid and gradually varying flow in open channels, flood and stormwater control, and the design of hydraulic structures. To complete these tasks, you must use appropriate technical language, communicate professionally, and work in teams and individually.

Prerequisite: ENEC12010 Hydraulics & Hydrology
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2026
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE
Useful learning materials
This course is quite heavy, and students may have felt overwhelmed by its content, which must be delivered within the stipulated timeframe. Therefore, a reassessment of the course content should be recommended in the next session to enable students to better understand the subject.
Feedback from SUTE
Useful feedback
It was found that students requested feedback on a variety of topics, including lectures, tutorials, assessments, and tests. Therefore, providing more personalised feedback should be recommended in the next session.
