Scott Knight 420 Black Hall kinigit@ufl.edu Office Hours: TBA or by appointment Basic Course Objectives: This course focuses on a physical and quantitative understanding of hydrologic processes and their engineering applications. Water, in its three phases is the most abundant substance on earth, a fundamental component of all life, and a major force that is constantly, sometimes inexorably and sometimes violently shaping the surface of the earth. Hydrology, in general, deals with the waters of the earth in all phases, their distribution, circulation, their physical and chemical properties, their interactions with the natural and anthropogenic environments and with all life. Hydrology is the study, at various scales, of the endless circulation of water between the earth and atmosphere. Objectives of this course include an introduction to both the physical phenomena processes of the hydrologic cycle and a quantitative description of these phenomena and processes. The Reynolds Transport Theorem, the Continuity and Momentum Equations will be applied to phenomena and processes. An overview of the atmospheric, subsurface and surface water will be provided. Issues of hydrologic measurements will be presented. Hydrologic analyses, including unit hydrograph theory, lumped flow routing, and distributed flow routing will be developed. Hydrologic statistics and frequency analysis will be introduced. Theoretical and empirical rainfall-runoff relationships will be presented and examined. Finally, engineering concepts of hydrologic design, design storms and hydrologic chemistry will be introduced, along with the linkage of hydrology and stormwater management. Practice and research examples will be introduced. 1

2 Student Outcome Objectives: 1. Student will have an understanding of hydrologic processes and phenomena, from physical and mechanistic perspectives, in particular as they processes and phenomena relate to the transport of water over natural and anthropogenic (urban) surfaces of the earth. Through quantifying main components of the hydrologic cycle, students will develop an understanding of relationships between atmospheric, surface and subsurface (to lesser degree) waters. 2. Student will have an understanding of development and use of Reynolds Transport Theorem, Control Volumes, Continuity and Momentum Eqns. to hydrologic phenomena and processes. 3. The student will have an understanding of basic hydrograph theory, including the unit hydrograph, synthetic unit hydrographs and empirical hydrograph development. The student will develop an understanding of both theoretical and empirical rainfall runoff relationships. 4. The student will have an understanding of hydrologic design concepts, and the concepts of design curves and intensity-duration-frequency relationships. Engineering applications will also focus on engineering measurements and engineering applications of hydrologic design. 5. The student will have an understanding that the hydrologic cycle and our intended (or unintended) interactions at various scales of the hydrologic cycle in Florida, fundamentally impacts both environmental and civil engineering design and functionality. Assessment Methods/Student Outcomes : 1. Homework will be assigned and graded to assist undergraduate students to develop the skill and confidence to solve problems involving the course topics and objectives. For a class intended to develop fundamental understanding and quantitative skills, this will be an important assessment method. Graduate student homework will not be graded. 2. Tests will be used to determine the level of understanding of the basic definitions, concepts and engineering methodology and calculations presented in the text, handouts and lectures. 3. Input and interaction between the students, instructor and TA during class will assess the ability of the student to synthesize the physical and quantitative aspects of the course. 4. Graduate students will have a written/analytical assignment requirement as compared to the undergraduate students. Textbook, Notes: Applied Hydrology, Chow, Maidment and Mays, (ISBN ). Typically, students will purchase the paperback International edition, for example from an on-line vendor at a lower cost than is available in a bookstore for the hardback version. The UF bookstore 2

3 notified us two weeks before class that the standard hardback version is in revision. Checking; the book is available on-line. Additionally, material will be provided via handouts or class notes loaded to the class website. We will use your UFL and the class website for sending attachments and communication. I will try and post many attachments as a pdf. Notes, information, lectures, discussion threads will be on the class EDGE site.

Despite the fact that you will have to work in this class, I hope to make this a useful and enjoyable experience. I encourage all questions - there is no such thing as a bad question as long as one is interested in learning the material and puts in a conscientious effort towards that goal. During each class, I will solicit class participation, input and questions. I will assess individual class participation in terms of attendance, participation, and preparation. On-campus students are required to attend class. On-campus attendance will be graded from sign-in for each class. On-campus students can have two un-excused; and with prior-written notification, two excused absences; for example documented academic field trip or family emergency; with no impact to your grade. Field trips to sports events are not excused absences. Homework (HW) and Graduate Assignment Guidelines: All on-line students must submit assignments via the Sakai System Entry at 1. The assignment due date and time will be listed on the class website. 2. ENV 4501: HW is due at the beginning of class, submitted in person by each in-class student, before the lecture is started so EDGE technicians are not disrupted in recording the class. 3. HW assignments turned in after the start of the lecture will receive a 10% reduction in grade. 4. HW assignments turned in up to 24 hours late will receive a 25% reduction in grade. 5. HW submissions later than 24 hours late will not be accepted. 6. A HW will be typically assigned every third class and is due at start of class when next HW is given: i.e. a HW assigned on Wed. is due on Mon. and when assigned on Mon. due on Fri. 7. For assignments requiring handwritten or electronic submissions: a. Engineering computational or grid paper must be used with neat and legible handwriting or typed. Neatness and legibility will impact the HW grade. 4

5 b. Page headings should include HW number, date, course, your name, UFID, and page number. c. A brief problem statement should be provided for each question. d. Assumptions, data and formulae utilized must be shown. e. Unit conversions must be shown (i.e. between English and SI), conversions throughout the problem, and the final answers shown with units to receive full credit. f. Sketches should be neat, clear and drawn with a straight edge, scale as required. g. Final answers must be boxed. Important intermediate answers leading to final results must be underlined. h. All numerical computations/answers should incorporate the appropriate number of significant figures. Final answers with an inappropriate number of significant figures will be assessed in the grading. While this may seem trite, in practice this is critical. i. Handwritten work must be legible when turned in as a paper document or legibly scanned and submitted as a single PDF file with the filename formatting: lastname_hw1.pdf (where lastname is your last name and HW1 represents in this case the first HW assignment). j. As examples of class assignments and tests, we will keep a select number of assignments and tests for ABET; to create course binders which are required by EES and the College of Engineering (COE). 8. For assignments requiring MS Word or another word processor, graphical or statistical analysis software; for example with respect to the graduate assignment, follow the comments above as necessary (submit as PDF) and additional guidance will be provided. 9. For assignments requiring MS Excel: a. Spreadsheets must be well organized and of professional quality and aesthetics. b. The first sheet in the workbook must be a summary table with the required answers to all of the problems and HW number, date, course, your name, and UFID. c. Each problem should have its own worksheet within the workbook. d. A brief problem statement should be provided for each question. e. Assumptions, data and formulae utilized must be shown. (Microsoft Equation is an excellent tool for showing formulae and is included in Excel). f. Unit conversions must be shown (i.e. between English and SI) g. A clear path from initial inputs to final solutions must be apparent when grading, without the need for guidance by the student. All columns and rows must be labeled and units must be clearly shown. h. Final answers should be boxed or highlighted. Important intermediate answers leading to final results should be underlined or otherwise signified. i. Graphs must be appropriately labeled and scaled; with the appropriate use of significant figures. 5

6 j. The spreadsheet should be submitted as a single.xls (or.xlsx) file with the filename formatting: lastname_hw1.xls (where lastname is your last name and HW1 represents in this case the first HW assignment). 10. Assess if your solution is reasonable comment as required. Develop a sense for what answer to expect. Comment on the uncertainties involved in your answers. 11. You are encouraged to work together on homework to understand concepts and solve the problems, but each of you is responsible for understanding the material. Copying of work, i.e. from old HW or subcontracting of work between class members is not permitted. This is not a design class; each of you needs to individually learn and demonstrate the course material. 12. In addition to the method and solution, adherence to these requirements will be graded. 13. Submissions developed electronically, must have no less than a 10 point New Times Roman font, and each page must be formatted to fit on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with 1 inch margins. 14. While this is an engineering class, written communication is important and is considered in grading each homework assignment so that you think about how you are stating your assumptions, results and conclusions. 15. Organization, legibility will be considered when grading. 16. Is to your advantage to show all your calculation steps and all logic from the start of the problem through to the solution. If we cannot assess your steps and logic by inspection, it will be much harder to spend time to try and provide you the benefit of doubt. Test and Exam Guidelines: In fairness to the entire class, tests cannot be missed/re-scheduled except for actual emergency or scheduled conflict (i.e. you play on a UFL sports team and will be out of town). Notification must be given in writing before test, or in case of emergency after the test by a disinterested party, a supervisor, doctor, coach, professor i.e. not a boyfriend or girlfriend. Although it is unlikely, there may be take-home tests. You are expected to work individually on a test or exam - no group efforts. On-line students will have individually proctored exams Grades will be assigned on the following basis (+, - grades will be assigned based on UF policy) Grade Points A B C D F < 599 You are each responsible for obtaining, reviewing, and understanding the policy of the Univ. of Florida for cheating and plagiarism with respect to any class assignments, HW (you can work together on HW but the work you turn in must be your own) or tests. Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated in this class. Prerequisite Expectations: ENV 3040C, STA 3032 or the equivalent, CWR 3201 or EGN 3353C or consent of instructor 6
