Hydro-Engineering/ Exercise 1

[Outline of the course]
This course aims to discuss theories for river basin management and channel design by examining river basins' natural and social environments and their historical transition. The lecture uses many methodologies, i.e., field survey, statistical analysis, GIS analysis, numerical simulation to pursue sustainable environmental management and appropriate channel design throughout the river basins.
