Course Aim: To provide knowledge on basic principles needed for planning and design of water treatment plants, irrigation, stormwater, and flood drainage projects, and coastal structures.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to;

➢    apply scientific knowledge on water treatment processes to design water mains and conventional water treatment plants.

➢    evaluate and plan effective irrigation water use in irrigation development projects.

➢    apply basic principles of hydrology and hydraulics to design reservoirs and spillways and design of an irrigation scheme.

➢    apply simple computational models for stormwater design and free-surface flow computations.

➢    analyze and apply wave-structure interaction processes and formulae in coastal engineering designs giving due consideration to functional, structural, construction, and operational aspects.

➢    describe coastal zone management concepts and practices primarily as applicable to Sri Lanka.

Course Content:

➢    Design of a Water treatment plant: Design of a distribution network, design of components in a WTP

➢    Irrigation engineering: Water requirement and irrigation planning; irrigation systems, irrigation scheduling

➢    Design of an irrigation project: Estimation of irrigation water requirement and irrigation scheduling using computer software, Design of an irrigation scheme; determination of the capacity of an irrigation reservoir and design of its spillway, design of irrigation canal network with appurtenant structures.

➢    Hydraulic computations: Energy Equations applied to design of open channel flows and pressurized flows, Saint-Venant equations, Introduction to CFD modeling and software applications, Computation of flood water levels; application of computer software for flood modeling

➢    Design of a Stormwater drainage system: Application of computer software for stormwater modeling, the impact of nature-based solutions
