Course Objectives	To develop an understanding of the hydrologic systems commonly used and of the hydrological processes in global water cycle with the determination of design flood characteristics by the help of statistical approaches. The course provides a quantitative introduction to the principles of hydrology and water resources planning for hydrologic design and analysis of systems concerned with the use and control of water.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Students will learn the hydrologic processes on earth and analyze them through a system concept. Students will learn how to obtain precipitation and streamflow data and analyze them. Students will learn the basin as a hydrologic system and hydrograph analysis as an output of this system. Students will learn how the flood hydrograph will attenuate (mitigate) in a channel or a reservoir. Students will learn statistical methods in hydrology and the importance of probabilistic approaches in analyzing extreme events in hydraulic structures. Students will learn the groundwater flow and how groundwater piezometric surfaces will change by extracting groundwater from wells.
Course Content	Principles of hydrology, water resources planning for design and analysis of systems concerned with the use and control of water, storage, water transmission.
