Hydro-Engineering/ Exercise 1

[Outline of the course]
The aim of this course is to discuss theories for river basin management and channel design through examining natural and social environments of river basins and their historical transition. The course uses lots of methodologies, i.e., field survey, statistical analysis, GIS analysis, numerical simulation to pursue a sustainable environmental management and appropriate channel design throughout the river basins.

[Keywords]
river basin management, channel design, the state-of-the-art review of river research, field survey, data analysis and model development.

1. To obtain methodology for solving hydro-related issues by using water science theories.
2. To develop analytic/numerical models for river channel design or environmental planning taking water and material cycles into account.
3. To make a measure to solve current water-related problems through field survey and model simulation.
