Aim
To demonstrate knowledge and understanding of hydrograph analysis, water supply, distribution system and practical application of the rainfall measurement in hydrological studies.
Objective
- To be familiarize with the design of water supply system and hydrograph analysis.
- To interpret different types of devices used to measure rainfall.
- To explain components of a meteorology station
- To investigate new technologies used in water resources engineering.
Tasks
Task-1: Field Visit Report
Site visit will be arranged for a meteorology station to observe the process of rainfall measurements followed by the assessment based on the field visit report submission.
Your task is to observe steps carried out for the measurement of different parameters and try to find out the information about the following:
- Main objectives of rainfall measurement
- Types and details of rainfall gauges
- Graphical representation of rainfall depth with time
Requirement for the Report
Write a full detailed report on the field visit meteorology station i.e., component and observations at the site. Total marks will be out of 50 for the report. The weightage is 50% from the total coursework.
The last date of submission is 20-November-2016. Marks distribution for the different parts of the report is presented in the table below:
Introduction, Role and importance of meteorology station, number of meteorology station in Oman.
Critical Review of rainfall measurement technologies
Indicate the main parameters measured in a typical meteorology station and explain the technics used for each measurement.
Write about the site visit presentation and explain what you learned from it.
Application: Construction of a hyetograph of a given storm

Task-2: Class tutorial
- Timed assignments will be conducted at the beginning of a class session.
- They will occur with prior announcement
- They are short class tutorial covering assigned reading materials and the previous lecture(s), and take about one hour to solve a simple design problem
- If a student did not attend a class tutorial for a genuine reason, a replacement assessment will be scheduled for him/her and the mark will be capped to 80% of the scored mark.
- If a student did not attend an assessment and fail to produce a genuine reason, no replacement assessment will be scheduled for him/her and only ZERO mark will be awarded for that assignment.
