<p>The key objective of this unit is the development of the skills required to analyse and design an urban water supply system. This unit also introduces students to fundamental hydrological and hydraulic theories. The unit places particular emphasis on the fundamental basis for the estimation of the flow in the catchment and open channel flow hydraulics and estimating runoff for design of drainage structures.</p>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
