Many design professionals were introduced to hydrology concepts when they started their careers. But the science and terminology of hydrology continues to evolve. Engineers and other design professionals need to understand hydrology concepts in order to design appropriately.
 
This online interactive course gives you the hydrologic cycle, types of natural storage and infiltration, recharge and base flow, surface runoff, peak rates of flow, I-D-F curves, hyetographs and hydrographs, runoff volume, NRCS hydrologic soil groups, and concentration, as well as a lengthy discussion on the differences between the Rational Method and the federal peak flow methods (using TR-20 and 55).
Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Discuss basic hydrology principles
  • Explain rate of runoff
  • Identify soil types
  • Describe the differences between the Rational Method and the federal peak flow methods
