CO1 1. This field of study is about solving problems to secure water for people, based on a
sound scientific understanding of hydrologic and hydraulic processes.
CO1 2. It is a kind of flow where velocity path lines are irregular curves which continually
cross each other. E.g. stream
CO1 3. It is the study of the characteristics, movement, and occurrence of water found
beneath the surface of the Earth.
CO1 4. Year the Bernoulli’s Energy Theorem originally formulated.
CO2 5. Water supply distribution systems that are constructed in the form of many loops and
branches more or less complicated in arrangement.
CO2 6. Year Emperor Yao of China asked Yu to construct a dam.
CO2 7. They tap the water for their own uses.
CO2 8. They developed community irrigation projects in the desert lands of Southwest
Colorado.
CO2 9. It is a statement or principle that recognizes the increasing scarcity of water as a result
of the different conflicting uses and overuses of water.
CO2 10. It is the concept that as the speed of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) increases, the
pressure within the fluid decreases.
