Course Information
Course ID:
SW2009TC

No. Instruction Hours: 80
Course Description:
This 2-week course combines lectures and analyses of surface-water hydraulic problems to provide students with experience in surface-water hydraulic analysis. A major part of the course is devoted to indirect measurement of discharge using slope-area, contracted-opening, step-backwater, and sulvert computations. Related topics including basic rating curve analysis, estimating roughness coefficients, and general field and office procedures also are discussed. Other hydraulic problems included in the course are: flow through control structures (weirs, dams, gates, flumes, etc); water-surface profile computations for various situations and applications, and flow routing concepts. A very basic introduction to sediment problems also is presented. THE COURSE REGISTRATION DEADLINE DATE IS JUNE 25, 2004. USGS employees please register using the online TMS. If you have TMS questions, please contact Sherry Smith the TMS Project Lead at sasmith@usgs.gov for assistance. OFAs & cooperators please contact Gloria Armstrong at gjarmstr@usgs.gov for a course application & registration instructions. Gloria is the POC (point-of-contact) for this training.
