Objective:
The subject water resources planning is too broad and has
too many methodological options to be covered completely in
a one semester and therefore the course is well designed with
various topics to give thorough knowledge on the engineering
and economic planning aspects of water resources studies,
that should be understood by all students
Outcomes:

Course Objectives &


Competences to be Acquired

Students will be able


Know the water budget and surfaces water resources
of Ethiopia and existing and water resources potential
and % of coverage in various sectors like water
supply& sanitation, Irrigation and Hydropower etc
the various demands, variations in demand and their
assessment for water supply projects, fixation of the
Reservoir capacity under various demand conditions mass curve and sequent peak algorithm techniques,
etc Understand the definition of system, factors
governing a system, system analysis, typical problems
associated with system and detailed study of
techniques (optimization) used to solve the typical
hydrological /water resources system problems.
Understands the basic principles of model, modeling
and various types of models. How a reservoir may be
modeled using deterministic inputs model
formulation for two important aspects of reservoir
modeling namely reservoir sizing and reservoir
operation
Selection of various alternative designs and economic
analysis of various alternatives. Calculation of capital
and maintenance costs of each alternatives and
selection of best alternatives and feasibility studies of
various projects
