Course Objectives		1. The introduction for students about the hydrology science which gains significance increasingly. 2. Establishing the foundation for the water resources course in the next term. 3. Enabling the application on water resources subject employing mathematics, physics, and statistics sciences.
Course Description		The definition of hydrology. Rainfall. Evaporation. Infiltration. Groundwater flow. Flow records and analysis. River basins. Snow melting. Hydrograph and analysis. Unit hydrograph theory and its applications. Synthetic unit hydrograph. The routing of the hydrograph along the river. Probability theory and the application of statistics in the hydrology.
Course Outcomes		The student I. Learns the elements of the hydrological cycle and comprehends its significance in civil engineering. II. Learns the significance of the groundwater in civil engineering. III. Learns about the measurement of the hydrologic data and gains ability to analyze the recorded data. IV. Learns about flow which is an element of hydrological cycle directly affecting civil engineering and gains the ability to employ the unit hydrograph theory which is frequently used in our country in the evaluation of the flows. V. Gains the ability to apply statistics which is an indispensable subject for the civil engineering program in water resources subject.
