This course combines many aspects of CIVE 290, CIVE 225, CIVE 311, and CIVE 327, with mathematical concepts from CIVE 302 and CIVE 320 to form a comprehensive introduction to water-resource and flood engineering.

Watershed Modelling: water balance, large-sample hydrology, hyetographs and hydrographs, Unit Hydrograph Theory, unit hydrograph convolution. Atmospheric Water: atmospheric velocities, thermodynamic variables, winds, precipitation, Idea Gas Law, humidity. Synthetic Unit Hydrograph Development: Snyder's Method, SCS Method, hydrologic soil groups. Evapotranspiration: Water Budget Method, Mass Transfer Method, Energy Budget Method, Pan Evaporation Method, Combined Methods using Penman Equation and Nomograph. Infiltration: Phi-Index Method, Horton's Equation, Green-Ampt Method, soil parameters, hydraulic head, fluid potential, Darcy's Law and Experiments, Extended Darcy's Law for Multiphase Flow, Richard's Equation. Snowfall and Snowmelt: Snowpack Energy Budget, climate change. Frequency...read more

It helped that she wrote extensive notes during lectures that complemented the slides, but her explanations were not always clear. The order of topics is also not always clear; sometimes, there would be a seemingly unrelated topic introduced in the next lecture amid a series of related lectures.

Write down everything, especially derivations, onto your exam cribsheets. Her exams had many questions that covered these niche factoids and derivations.
