Hydrology
• Hydrology is the study of the occurrence, distribution, and movement of water above, on, and below the surface of the earth.
• Hydrology is used to estimate discharges at a location
Module 1

Hydraulics
• Hydraulics is the study of the physics of water motion.
• Hydraulics is used to estimate flow depths in hydraulic structures such as channels and culverts.
• Hydraulics is also used to estimate resulting forces at a location.

Watershed
• The fundamental unit in surface water hydrology is the watershed.
• A watershed is defined as the area on the surface of the earth that drains to a specific location.
Module 1
![Page 11: Basic Hydrology & Hydraulics: DES 601 Module 1 Introduction](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/5697bff31a28abf838cbc943/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Watershed• Watershed physical properties include:
• Area
• Main channel length (if a main channel exists)
• Slope (requires the specification of path),
• Soil moisture/permeability

Watershed Delineating• Topographic maps
• Hands-on methods• Marking directly on
map• Tracing using light
table• Computerized methods
• DEMs• GIS software• Semi-automated
delineation• Fully automated
delineation• Automated
measurements should always be verified
