Lesson 3: Rainfall-Runoff Relationships: This lesson deals with the relationship between the direct runoff hydrograph of a catchment observed at a location (the catchment outlet) and the effective rainfall over the catchment causing the runoff are proposed to be dealt with. .
Lesson 4: Design Flood Estimation: This lesson explains how design flood is described for a particular hydraulic structure and the methods to calculate design floods viz, a) Hydro-meteorological approach, and b) Statistical approach. .
Lesson 5: Subsurface movement of water: This lesson deals with the theory behind movement of water in saturated/unsaturated zone, the meanings of equipotential and flow lines, aquifers and confining layers. .
Lesson 6: Principles of Groundwater Flow: In this lesson, the mathematical description of saturated groundwater flow and its exact and approximate relations to the hydraulic gradient is dealt with.
Lesson 7: Well Hydraulics: This lesson deals with concepts of steady and unsteady groundwater flow to wells and the determination of the physical properties of confined aquifers.
Lesson 8: Flow Dynamics in Open Channels and Rivers: In this lesson the behavior and corresponding mathematical description of flow in open channels are reviewed in order to utilize them in designing water resources systems.
Lesson 9: Geomorphology of Rivers: This lesson attempts to understand the flow and sediment transport behavior of natural channels and rivers. Applied theories of sediment dynamics and their application to natural rivers and artificial channels have been discussed.
Lesson 10: Sediment Dynamics in Alluvial Rivers and Channels: This lesson deals with the mechanics of sediment movement in alluvial rivers, the different types of bed forms in alluvial rivers and quantitative assessment of sediment transport.
