Objectives of the Course

Course Objectives The aim of this course is to present soil and water conservation methods for improvement of the tributary in basins, to offer the principles of planning and Designing for improvement of the structures, In this context a selected sample will be prepared for the improvement structure project.

Course Content

Rainfall and catchment characteristics, Runoff relationships with climatic factors, material handling movement of water and erosion The effects of the flow characteristics of the basin Flood flows and effects Tributary breeding methods applied Tributary for improvement of building types, styles, and other building structures applied to longitudinal and transverse Tributary conservation breeding structures, basins, cultural, and other measures.
