JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

To impart knowledge on runoff, discharge measurement, estimation of flood, and

flood disaster mitigation measures.

Course Outcomes

The learner will be able to estimate the quantum of water resources from

different sources and able to implement and manage water resources effectively.

UNIT - I

Introduction: Definition, concepts of IWRM, approaches to iwrm, components, importance. Surface water: Evapotranspiration – Runoff – Hydrographs – Methods of discharge measurement – Estimation of flood – Flood disaster mitigation measures and damage estimation, rainfall-runoff models.
