Aim(s)
To provide basic principles and knowledge needed for planning and design of water treatment plants, irrigation development projects and coastal structures.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to; Analyse coastal processes that need to be considered in coastal engineering design projects. Design breakwaters giving due considerations to functional, structural, construction and operational aspects. Evaluate and plan effective use of irrigation water in irrigation development projects. Apply scientific knowledge on water treatment processes to design conventional water treatment plants. Apply basic principles of hydrology and hydraulics to design reservoirs and spillways.
