unit-hydrograph; flood control engineering. Open channels: study of critical flow,
transilatory waves, and the hydraulic jump; backwater computations; reservoir routing;
channel design. Pipes: construction of nomographs; pipe networks, Cross method; water
hammer, Gibson method; pipe design. Pumps: use of service and pump characteristic
curves based on manufacturer's data; cavitation studies. Turbines: significance of
performance curves and specific speed; design of intake structures, control works, and
draft tubes. Structures: design of a gravity dam by the method of zones.
