AHS434

Synthesize effective precipitation, unit hydrograph theory, convolution, and hydrologic routing to characterize a watershed response to storm inputs.

Employ a synthetic unit hydrograph, hydrologic routing, and a design storm with land-use characteristics to design a detention pond.

Calibrate a hydrologic model with watershed modeling software driven by observed precipitation against observed streamflow via manual and automatic calibration techniques.

Utilize a calibrated watershed model to demonstrate flood control alternatives for a design storm in a real-world watershed. 

Perform a basic flow analysis on a real-world river reach using hydraulic software and connections between normal depth, critical depth, subcritical flow, and steady flow.

Propose a relevant individual research topic, collect information, and deliver the results in the form of a written formal report and oral presentation.
