Surface Water Hydrology

In this project, you are required to prepare a hydrologic analysis of a block of land planned for
development (see attached map – based on your student number as explained above). The
purpose is to satisfy regulatory requirements and get necessary approvals (from hydraulic and
hydrologic perspectives) for development. You will need to collect necessary data (as formulated
below) using ARR Vol 2 to construct rainfall patterns and the Bureau of Meteorology site
(http://www.bom.gov.au/water/designRainfalls/ifd/index.shtml). Perform detailed hydrologic and
hydraulic analyses of the basin before and after the proposed development. Discuss, in detail, the
actions you propose so that the regulatory agencies’ requirements are met. You will need to
perform analyses by using the basic principles you’ve learnt in Surface Water Hydrology (300983),
Hydraulics (300765) and Fluid Mechanics (300762). You will also need to confirm reliability of your
results by using the software packages HEC-HMS.
