  1. The student is able to make applied calculations of river works
  2. The student is able to predesign dykes and coastal protection
  3. The student is able to explain and apply the principles of water safety in a given situation

 

Content

The focus within river engineering will be on river control and water safety. River control is about level control, bed control and protection, sediment transport. Water safety is a key element in the water management of delta area’s. It is about assessing risks of sea or river dike break through.
Lectures on water safety will be combined with current technical issues regarding river regulation, flow and sediment transport, bottom and shore protection measures and dike design.
