Learning objectives
- Advanced understanding and working knowledge on main principles and practices used in the analysis and hydraulic design of dams for storage, level regulation and hydropower development. Principles of construction and operation. Principles and operation of the sediment in reservoirs and operation rules. Evaluating the impacts of in stream flow works over the appropriate timescales.
- Advanced knowledge on use of the surface and underground storage for water harvesting. Systems for rain and floodwater harvesting.
Syllabus
Storage and Reservoirs

& trends; examples; failures & lessons. Systematic engineering
approach to dam design and operation. Actions on dams; stability; static
and dynamic analysis; seismic actions. Foundation treatment. Monitoring
surveillance & maintenance. River diversion during dam construction;
general considerations; diversion schemes; cofferdams; conveyance works.
Case studies and exercises on dam analyse and design.
Reservoir sedimentation; flushing schemes
and sedimentation process. Operation rules.
Hydropower Development
Hydropower; basic concepts; past experience
and trends; context society, energy & environment. Hydropower schemes.
Conventional low and high head schemes; factors principles$ requirements
for the design. Typical arrangements & layouts. Principles and experiences
in analyse and design of headrace works, canals, tunnels, surge tanks,
penstocks. Small-scale schemes; design and operation principles. Exercise
on the design and evaluation of Hydropower schemes.
