River Hydraulics and Development

This lecture covers the fundamental theoretical aspects of river hydraulics and development, focusing on topics such as uniform and non-uniform flows, specific energy, and hydraulic jumps. The instructor discusses the pressure distribution, flow-depth relations, and the force of the flow in various flow conditions. The lecture also delves into the concepts of gradually varied flow, prismatic beds, and the calculation of load capacity. Practical exercises and case studies are used to illustrate the application of hydraulic principles in real-world scenarios.
