SYNOPSIS
The subject covers materials on flood control projects and economic analysis.
includes topics on flood problems; causes, policy, prevention measures,
management, forecasting and warning. Other topics are flood control schemes
and measures, flood plain hydrology and hydraulics, numerical computations of
flood control, flood damage reduction functions and measures, case studies of
flood mitigation in urban areas and economic analysis of flood control projects.
Also includes application of computer models and water resources software.
