Word of advice from previous students
“The course is very computation driven and requires excel programming. The skills taught are very valuable to civil engineering.”“Torlapati’s Water Resources is a great class. He gives a lot of example problems and is always willing to help students with clear instructions, deadlines and expectations.”“Dr. Torlapati teaches this course in a way that both covers the material in depth as well as offers insight into real world scenarios and issues. Would recommend to anyone interested in water, the environment, or social issues regarding engineering
What will you learn in this class? • Pipe flow & Pipe Networks• Open Channel Flow• Water Surface Profiles• Precipitation & Infiltration• Hydrographs

COMMUNICATION
Slack (http://www.slack.com/) will be used to collaborate, communicate and
share materials in the class. Slack offers an app for Windows, MacOS, iOS and
Andriod as well as a browser application. It is the responsibility of the student to
accept the invitation and familiarize themselves with the application. Any issues with
the application should be resolved within the first week of beginning of classes. No
emails will be answered after the first week. Absolutely no excuses will be
accepted for missing deadlines for not having access to the application. The team
name for Slack is rowancee2019. Use your Preferred names when you register
for Slack.
ACCOMODATION
Your academic success is important. If you have a documented disability that
may have an impact upon your work in this class, please contact me. Students must
provide documentation of their disability to the Academic Success Center to receive
official University services and accommodations. The Academic Success Center can
CEE 08342 – WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SPRING 2020
Page 2 of 9
be reached at 856-256-4234. The Center is located on the 3rd floor of Savitz Hall.
The staff is available to answer questions regarding accommodations or assist you in
your pursuit of accommodations. We look forward to working with you to meet your
learning goals. Letter of accommodation should be submitted to the instructor at
the beginning of the semester and the tests should be scheduled with Testing
services in advance.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Lectures: Attendance is mandatory. If you know that you will be absent from a class
for a valid reason, obtain approval from instructor 24 hours before the class period.
The only exception to this rule is a medical emergency. Missing exams without
valid medical excuse will result in a zero grade.
Lab: Attendance will be taken during lab and missing lab without a valid medical
excuse will result in a zero grade for the lab. If the student misses the lab with a valid
medical excuse, the student should complete a makeup lab and write their own lab
report. If you miss more than two labs without a valid excuse, you will receive
zero grade for the lab portion of your final grade.
ROWAN SUCCESS NETWORK (RSN)
The Rowan Success Network powered by Starfish® is designed to make it
easier for you to connect with the resources you need to be successful at Rowan.
Throughout the term, you may receive email from the Rowan Success Network team
(Starfish®) regarding your academic performance. Please pay attention to these
emails and consider taking the recommended actions. Utilize the scheduling tools to
make appointments at your convenience including tutoring. Additional information
about RSN may be found here (https://sites.rowan.edu/student-
success/rsn/index.html)
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
Everyone in class should complete and sign the academic integrity form. This
will be due at the beginning of the semester. Failing to follow guidelines will result in a
zero grade in the assignment, quiz or exam at a minimum. Any academic integrity
violation will be reported to the University’s provost office for further action. The
university’s academic integrity policy can be found here.
(https://confluence.rowan.edu/display/POLICY/Academic+Integrity+Policy)
PROFESSIONAL & ETHICAL BEHAVIOR
Professional behavior is expected of the students in and out of the classroom.
The classroom and online platforms provided to the students are learning tools.
Unprofessional behavior on these platforms will result in punitive action as deemed by
the instructor. Incidents will be escalated to chair or the dean’s office depending on
the severity of the action.

II. COURSE GUIDELINES
DESCRIPTION
Water resources engineering includes the principles of hydraulic and hydrologic
processes. The hydraulic processes include pressurized pipe flow, open-channel flow
and groundwater flow. Each of these are further divided into different types of flow.
The hydrologic processes include precipitation, infiltration, rainfall-runoff and routing.
These hydraulic and hydrologic principles are used in the design and analysis of pipe-
networks, channels and watersheds. Numerical computational models and software
will also be used to apply the principles learned in class. In addition, sustainable
engineering practices and global water issues will be discussed.

LAB REPORT The general rubric for the lab report and the different sections needed for a complete lab report are as follows: Note: Some lab reports may not require all sections 1. Letter of Transmittal – Sample letter of transmittal can be found here.
(http://users.rowan.edu/~jagadish/resources/Lot_Example.pdf) [10 points]
2. Abstract – A short paragraph describing the details of the experiment and the
results. [5 points]
3. Introduction – A general background should be presented here with relevant
citations for statements. The objective of the report needs to be at the end of this
section and it is usually one sentence describing the goal of the experiment.
[15 points]
4. Materials and methods – This section will include a list of all the materials and
instruments that were used in the experiment. The method of the experiment should
be described as it were done by you and not present a list of instructions. This
should be written in paragraphs and bullet points or numbered lists will not be
acceptable. If it is a software lab, the input parameters should be discussed in this
section. Any formulae used for generating results should be presented here. All the
CEE 08342 – WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SPRING 2020
Page 7 of 9
variables in the formulae should be explained in detail. All the equations or formulae
should be numbered. [25 points]
5. Results and discussion – This section should include the results from the
experiment. The results should be discussed in detail and should refer to the
relevant formulae for calculations. Figures and tables should be accompanied with
results where necessary. The Figure captions go under the figure and Table
captions should go above the Table. Uncertainty and appropriate significant
figures should be used where necessary. [25 points]
6. Conclusions – This section should briefly summarize the findings from the
experiment. Highlight anything you found in your results and discussion and reiterate
those points for emphasis. [10 points]
7. References – This section will contain the material used to help write the lab report.
There is no preferred format for citation as long as it stays consistent throughout the
report. [10 points]

VI. OTHER INFORMATION
PRESENTATIONS
At the end of the semester, the students will present on an environmental
related topic. These presentations will be 10 minutes long with an additional 5
minutes allotted for questions. Some portion of the presentation grade will come from
peer-evaluations. The topics for presentation can be, not limited to, one of the
following:
Water conflicts
Bottled water
Global economics of water
Stormwater management
Sustainable engineering (water-related)
These presentations will be 10 minutes long with an additional 5 minutes allotted for
questions. Some portion of the presentation grade will come from peer-evaluations.
These presentations should pick a specific location for the problem, explain the
problem in that location and discuss how they address the problems.
PAPER
The student will write a short paper about the topic that will be assigned during
the semester. This will be due at the end of the semester.
DESIGN PROJECT
Two design projects will be assigned during the semester. The first design
project will involve pipe network analysis using Hardy-Cross method and the second
design project will involve design of channel. The specifications for each design
project will be assigned at a later time during the semester
HELPFUL TIPS
Here are some useful tips to be successful in this course:
Try to complete the problems on your own instead of copying from the board
Complete all the problems assigned in class
Check the problems again when you go back home to refresh the ideas
Complete all the homework problems
Do not hesitate to ask for help
Most importantly, stay on top of things
