Introduction to Engineering Hydrology Notes

About this Chapter

This document contains the complete study material for Chapter 1: Introduction to Engineering Hydrology. Hydrology plays a critical role in the planning and design of water resource engineering projects.

In this chapter, students will learn about the scope of hydrology, the continuous hydrologic cycle, and calculating the water balance equations. It also covers the development of hydro-meteorological data in Nepal through the DHM, and the practical skills for the delineation and characterization of hydrological boundaries.
