    Water resources engineering relates to supplying water for human use, avoiding flood damage, and removing used water. It involves planning and managing facilities like dams, canals, spillways, weirs, and reservoirs to achieve these objectives. Some key branches of water resources engineering are flood forecasting and management, reservoir operation, dam break analysis, river ecology, sediment transport, watershed management, and water quality assessments. Hydraulic structures disrupt or stop natural water flows and include dams, canals, spillways, weirs, and reservoirs.

    WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING


    -relates to the task of supplying water that’s fit for human use, developing efficient methods of avoiding damage from
    floods (excess water) and removing water when people are done using it.
    -involves planning and management of various constructed facilities that provide solutions for the objectives listed
    above.

     BRANCHES
    • Flood forecasting, flood management
    • Reservoir operation
    • Dam break analysis
    • River ecology
    • River management, navigation
    • Sediment transport &river morphology
    • Basin-wide water resource planning
    • River water quality, point load and non-point assessments
    • Conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater
    • Wetlands
    • Watershed management
    • Soil &groundwater contamination

    Hydraulic structure
    - is a structure submerged or partially submerged in any body of water, which disrupts the natural flow of water. They
    can be used to divert, disrupt or completely stop the flow.

    DAMS- is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of water or underground streams.
    CANAL-are human-made channels, or artificial waterways, for water conveyance, or to service water transport
    vehicles.
    SPILLWAY-is a structure used to provide the controlled release of flows from a dam or levee into a downstream area,
    typically the riverbed of the dammed river itself.
    WEIR- is a barrier across the horizontal width of a river that alters the flow characteristics of water and usually results in
    a change in the height of the river level.
    RESERVOIR- is a storage space for fluids. These fluids may be water, hydrocarbons or gas. A reservoir usually means
    an enlarged natural or artificial lake, storage pond or impoundment created using a dam or lock to store water. 
    DRAINAGE-is the natural or artificial removal of a surface's water and sub-surface water from an area.
    FISH LADDER- also known as a fishway, fish pass or fish steps, is a structure on or around artificial and natural barriers
    (such as dams, locks and waterfalls) to facilitate diadromous fishes' natural migration.[1] Most fishways enable fish to
    pass around the barriers by swimming and leaping up a series of relatively low steps (hence the term ladder) into the
    waters on the other side.
    BRIDGE- is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of
    water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, usually something that can be
    detrimental to cross otherwise. 
    FLUME- is a human-made channel for water in the form of an open declined gravity chute whose walls are raised
    above the surrounding terrain, in contrast to a trench or ditch.[1][2] Flumes are not to be confused with aqueducts,
    which are built to transport water, rather than transporting materials using flowing water as a flume does.Flumes
    route water from a diversion dam or weir to a desired materiel collection location.
