3 River Engineering
In this lecture, we learn about the following contents described in the class schedule that are important for river management.
1. Students understand the basic concept of river engineering.
2. Students understand the physical, geomorphological, biological, and ecological characteristics of rivers.
3. Students understand well-known design patterns of planning and structures in river management.
4. Students understand current flood conditions due mainly to global climate change and their adaptation and countermeasures.
