This document outlines a teaching plan for a 18-week course on hydrology and water storage structures. The course covers various topics related to surface water hydrology, ground water hydrology, water quality, basic hydrological principles and equations, diversion head works, theories of seepage and design of weirs and barrages, dams, and reservoir planning and management. Each weekly lecture covers a sub-topic in detail with supporting concepts and design considerations. Assignments will be given and attendance taken online. Students are invited to provide any questions or suggestions.
