Water Resources Engineering Flashcards
The distribution and circulation of the water, linking the earth’s atmosphere, land, and oceans.
hydrologic cycle
It is the quantitative study of the hydrologic cycle
WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING
Refers to solving problems to secure water for people, based on the sound scientific understanding of the hydrologic and hydraulic processes.
WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Refers to the management of the urban water supply, design of urban storm-sewer systems, and flood forecasting
WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING
Name the 3 main types of Water Resources Management
- Water Supply Management
- Water Excess Management
- Environmental Restoration
The study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water throughout the Earth, including the hydrologic cycle, water resources, and environmental watershed sustainability.
HYDROLOGY
Name the 3 categories of hydrology
hydrometeorology, surface hydrology, hydrogeology
_____ and _____ are not included in hydrology
