This lecture covers the fundamentals of hydraulic engineering, focusing on structures such as water intakes, dams, and canals. Students will learn to apply theory to solve practical problems in hydraulic engineering and understand the environmental impacts of hydraulic structures. The course also emphasizes the optimization and correct application of hydraulic principles in the design of various hydraulic installations. By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to characterize and size hydraulic structures, as well as work in multidisciplinary groups to address environmental and social aspects of hydraulic projects.
