In this course, you can learn:
Course Outline: DRE 5204
Course Title: Applied Hydrology and Water Engineering, PSTU
Course Code: DRE 5204, Credit Hour: 2, Contact Hour: Two hours per week
Rationale:
This course is intended to provide knowledge on the assessment of surface and sub s surface water quality analysis, utilization, and implementation techniques of water quality modeling in practical fields. It helps the students to gather knowledge regarding surface and sub-surface water quality-related hazards and utilize this knowledge to minimize the hazards in real life and national level.
Objectives :
- To Identify and analyze groundwater quality.
- To learn how to Manage saline water intrusion.
- To know the management of groundwater quality
- To Establish modeling for groundwater resource management in Bangladesh

Groundwater hydrology: Surface and groundwater interactions, groundwater movement, groundwater flow directions, depression, and general flow equation; vertical distribution of groundwater, geologic formation of the aquifer and its types; major groundwater aquifers and groundwater resources potential and constraints in Bangladesh; Human influence on groundwater cycle.
Groundwater well hydraulics: Steady unidirectional flow and radial flow to a well, multiple well systems. Water wells: Methods for constructing shallow and deep tube wells; tube well drilling technology, preparation of good log and sand analysis to identify water-bearing formations; well development, completion, and rehabilitation; groundwater tables and levels, pumping equations. Groundwater quality: Quality parameters/criteria, measures of water quality analysis; possible sources of groundwater pollution including arsenic contamination, controlling groundwater pollution; Saline water intrusion: Occurrence, Ghyben-Herzber law, causes and mechanisms of saline water intrusion, control of saline water intrusion; sea level rise and salinity intrusion in coastal areas of Bangladesh, effects of salinity on agro-ecological system. Management of Groundwater: Concept of basin management, equation of hydraulics equilibrium, groundwater basin investigations, data collection and fieldwork, alternative basin yield, basin management by conjunctive use. Modeling for groundwater resource management in Bangladesh: Conceptual design of groundwater modeling for resource assessment, groundwater development and assessment of water pollution in Bangladesh, development of GIS-based models.
