CE8091 Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering Syllabus:
CE8091 Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2017
OBJECTIVE:
- To introduce the student to the concept of hydrological aspects of water availability and requirements and should be able to quantify, control and regulate the water resources.
