1 Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment (ESSIE) Environmental Engineering Sciences (EES) University of Florida Course Outline Advanced Environmental Hydrology Autumn 2014 Time and Location: Tuesday-Thursday, 2 nd and 3 rd period, CSE 122 ENV4501 (undergraduate section on-campus) ENV6932L (graduate section on-campus) ENV6932L (graduate section on EDGE) ENV6932L (graduate section on EDGE) Instructor: Office Hours: TA: Professor John Sansalone, P.E. 110 Black Hall, Tel: (Voice Mail) jsansal@ufl.edu I am available Tuesday and Thursday (12:45 to 2:15 pm) and if you do not find me in the office I may be down the hall in our labs or at our facility next to Black Hall and Chemical Engr. David Spelman Office: 106 Black Hall dwspelma@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 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 checked or 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; see attached description. 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 (as of the week before class) had the new hardback version on back order so we will continue to use the 1988 edition. Checking; this version of the book is available on-line. Additionally, material will be provided via handouts or 2

3 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. If you have a question, please see me during office hours, or as you see me around campus anytime. Otherwise drop me an . The discussion thread is mainly a way for you as students to interact with homework and while the TA may engage in the discussion for homework; I do not check the Sakai discussion thread. Therefore if you have questions, me, call me or come by the office; during office hours. Also it is much better to see me or pick up the phone if you have a technical question; is terribly inexact and difficult regarding describing technical details.

While this class does require work, the class will be useful in your future career. I encourage all questions - there are not bad questions as long as you are interested in learning the material and put in a conscientious effort towards learning. 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 assessed and graded. On-campus students can have two un-excused absences which will require 24 hour prior-written ( ) notification before class and two excused absences with documentation (for example an academic field trip, family emergency or health 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 by the beginning of class, submitted in person by each in-class student, before the lecture is started so technicians are not disrupted recording the class. 3. HW turned in after the start of class will not be accepted. 4. A HW will be typically assigned every third class but can vary based on semester schedule. 5. HW is not graded, but HW adhering to following format will be given full credit. 6. HW questions and/or solutions can be, and should be, reviewed with the TA as needed. 4

5 7. For assignments requiring handwritten or electronic submissions: a. Engineering computational or grid paper must be used with neat and legible handwriting or typed. Note: Neatness, legibility, compliance will impact HW grade. 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. 5

6 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. 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). k. The spreadsheet must be very, very organized with units, clear headings, an organized structure, etc., and equations where required. Minimum font size is New Times Roman 12-font. 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 12 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 and verbal communication is important and is considered in overall participation grading when considering your class success. 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: Everyone has a bad test day on occasion; therefore I will allow you to drop your lowest test grade. 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 6

7 You are each responsible for obtaining, reviewing, and understanding the policy of the U. of Florida and College of Engineering on cheating and plagiarism with respect to any class work, HW (you can work together on HW but the work you turn in must be your own) or tests/exam. Cheating and plagiarism in any form will not be tolerated in this class. There shall be no phones out, present or available during a test/exam. Copying, photographing or memorizing a test for knowledge of others is cheating. Prerequisite Expectations: ENV 3040C, STA 3032 or the equivalent, CWR 3201 or EGN 3353C or consent of instructor Tentative List of Topics: 1. Introduction to hydrologic cycle, overview of processes and phenomena. 2. Atmospheric water, interactions between atmospheric, surface and subsurface water. 3. Hydrologic measurements. 4.
