Subject Overview:	The subject content will include three Civil Hydraulics Modules: River Hydraulics: revision of basic concepts of steady-state open channel flow and extend this with applications in natural river channels, time dependent behaviour and flood hydraulics. Coastal Hydraulics: basic wave theory and processes including in the surf zone. Sediment Transport and Water Quality: mechanisms and models of particulate and solute transport in rivers and coastal environments. These modules will be taught using a combination of self-guided on-line content and tutorials
Objectives:	On completion of this subject students should be able to: identify and describe the dominant forces in particular flows formulate and solve problems involving open channel or coastal hydraulics including sediment transport describe the implications of flows being able to take mutliple forms
Assessment:	Three 1-hour tests, at the end of each module (100%)
Prescribed Texts:	Reference material will be suggested in class
