Credit points: 6.00
Contact: 18 hours of lectures and 8 hours tutorials/practical work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this subject, students should:
- understand the application of diffusion and dispersion concepts to stream modelling, and the mixing processes involved
- be able to describe reservoir stratification and overturn
- be able to use mathematical models of solute transport for rivers and lakes
- be able to carry out a hydrosalinity analysis for an irrigation area and propose feasible solutions
- understand the principles of surface and sub-drainage systems
- be able to design drainage systems
- be able to recommend appropriate ways to dispose of drainage effluents
Content:
Solute transport, diffusion, dispersion. Mixing processes for pollutants. Reservoir stratification, overturn, sedimentation. Mathematical models of rivers and lakes. Diagnosis of excess water and salt sources. Point and non-point sources. Hydrosalinity analysis of the basin and/or irrigation area. Structural and non-structural measures to correct the problem. Surface and sub-surface drainage systems: principles and applications. Environmental impact and disposal of drainage effluents. Water management practices to decrease drainage flows.
Assessment:
A two-hour examination; reports and assignments up to a total of 30 pages.
