The student will be able to compute the hydraulic and hydrologic load to hydraulic structures according to national and international standards on safety and environmental protection. Hydraulic aspects of reservoirs and dam design will be the subject of the first part of the course where the engineering design of all fundamental structures of dams will be investigated. The environmental compatibility of structures including minimum in-stream flow, risk analysis and flood hazard control will be assessed.
In the second part of the course river training and engineering works will be investigated, including flood retention basins, torrent control structures. Principles of design of hydropowerplant and pumping stations will complete the topics addressed by the course.
