Hydraulic Installations: Basic Data

This lecture covers the fundamental concepts related to hydraulic installations, focusing on basic data such as evaporation and evapotranspiration values, measurement instrumentation, snow layers, groundwater, and flow rates characterization. It also delves into the observation of runoff, water level measurements, and the estimation of flow peaks using empirical and statistical methods. The lecture further explores the solid transport in water bodies, including bedload and suspended materials, as well as the analysis of particle size curves. Various empirical formulas and statistical analyses for flood estimation are discussed, along with the importance of understanding flow regimes and extreme flood events.
