This online engineering PDH course will enable you to calculate peak storm water runoff rate using the Rational Method equation in either U.S. or S.I. units, including determination of runoff coefficient, calculation of time of concentration, and determination of design rainfall intensity. It will also prepare you for the use of Excel spreadsheets to efficiently make the calculations.
Calculation of peak storm water runoff rate from a drainage area is often done with the Rational Method equation (Q = CiA).

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the hydrologic engineering investigations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.
Part 1 presents the basic hydrologic concepts for reservoirs including reservoir purposes and basic hydrologic concerns and methods.
The water resource system is a system that may consists of reservoirs, power plants, diversion structures, channels, and conveyance facilities that are each constructed for specific objectives and operated together as a system. This system should be designed and operated for the most effective and efficient accomplishment of overall objectives using mathematical models and simulation.
A reservoir is the artificial body of water that forms adjacent to a storage dam. Multipurpose reservoirs are reservoirs that serve more than one purpose including generating hydroelectric power, providing flood control, storing water, enabling irrigation, and providing recreational opportunities.

Hydrologic analysis is used to simulate the hydrological process, study the hydrological characteristics and forecast the surface hydrological situation by establishing the water system model. The analysis helps in determining the scope of the flood, showing the runoff pollution sources, and predicting geomorphological change on runoff. Hydrologic analysis is widely used in regional planning, agriculture, disaster prediction, and many other fields and industries.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the hydrologic engineering investigations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.
Part 3 presents the storage requirements for various project purposes.
In general, reservoir flood storage is considered when flood damage at a number of locations on a river can be significantly reduced by the construction of one or more reservoirs. It is also considered when a reservoir site immediately upstream from one damage center provides more economical flood risk management than local flood risk management works.
Whenever such reservoirs can serve needs other than flood risk management, the integrated design and operation of the project for multipurpose use should be considered. The water stored in the conservation pool can serve many purposes, including water supply, navigation, fish and wildlife, and hydroelectric power. This course covers the storage requirements for various project purposes.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the hydrologic engineering investigations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.
Part 4 presents the basic hydrologic engineering studies, focusing on spillways and outlet works, dam freeboard requirements, dam-break analysis, channel capacity as well as real estate and right-of-way studies.
Dam failures can be caused by overtopping a dam due to insufficient spillway capacity during large inflows to the reservoir. This often occurs by seepage or piping through the dam or along internal conduits, slope embankment slides, earthquake damage and liquefaction of earthen dams from earthquakes, or landslide-generated waves within the reservoir.
Spillways and outlet works are necessary to provide capability to release an adequate rate of water from the reservoir to satisfy dam safety and water control management of the project. Furthermore, a freeboard protects the dam and embankment integrity from overflow and excessive wave overtopping caused by various factors. This course will cover all of these topics in great detail.
