Introduction

Hydrology provides a basic understanding of the occurances and distribution of water above, on and below the earth.

As development occurs, the quantity and quality of water may not be sufficient to provide for all intended economical uses. Thus, we must be able to control waters within their intended risk and for beneficial uses. Major disasters are caused by below normal or excessive rainfall. Droughts cause populations to be displaced and human suffering. Or at the other extreme, streams and rivers overflow into populated areas. Wildlife is displaced or destroyed. Damage to transportation system occurs. And, unfortunately there is a long list of human sufferings resulting in excessive government expenditures when we do not understand hydrology and the management of waters.

We should therefore be able to design structures to control water related events at a risk that is acceptable to the people of an area and within budget expenditures.
