This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of the occurrence and movement of groundwater. Procedures for planning and managing a site characterization and modeling study are then presented. This is followed by chapters addressing the technical aspects of field investigative methods and computer modeling. A final chapter discussing the interaction of groundwater and surface water is then presented.
Since it is not possible to provide specific instructions and/or specific procedures that are universally applicable to every situation that may be encountered, this course emphasizes the use of sound judgment and the development of a good understanding of basic groundwater concepts rather than providing specific guidelines.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance in hydrologic analysis of interior areas for planning, design investigations, and flood risk reduction.
Floods have social, environmental, and economic consequences and they directly impact people and communities. Some of the immediate impacts of flooding includes loss of human life, loss of livestock, and damages to properties and crops.
This course provides information of interest to planners and designers of interior system involving flood loss reduction measures and actions. Interior area investigations are differentiated from other studies only by the uniqueness of the hydrologic analysis requirements for the flood loss reduction measures commonly used. Interior area planning studies are an essential aspects of feasibility studies.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the hydrologic engineering investigations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.
Part 1 presents the basic hydrologic concepts for reservoirs including reservoir purposes and basic hydrologic concerns and methods.
The water resource system is a system that may consists of reservoirs, power plants, diversion structures, channels, and conveyance facilities that are each constructed for specific objectives and operated together as a system. This system should be designed and operated for the most effective and efficient accomplishment of overall objectives using mathematical models and simulation.
A reservoir is the artificial body of water that forms adjacent to a storage dam. Multipurpose reservoirs are reservoirs that serve more than one purpose including generating hydroelectric power, providing flood control, storing water, enabling irrigation, and providing recreational opportunities.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers as well as others interested in expanding their knowledge on the hydrologic engineering considerations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.
This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the different purposes of reservoirs
- Gaining an overview of reservoir storage and how it is used for authorized purposes

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the hydrologic engineering investigations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.
Part 4 presents the basic hydrologic engineering studies, focusing on spillways and outlet works, dam freeboard requirements, dam-break analysis, channel capacity as well as real estate and right-of-way studies.
Dam failures can be caused by overtopping a dam due to insufficient spillway capacity during large inflows to the reservoir. This often occurs by seepage or piping through the dam or along internal conduits, slope embankment slides, earthquake damage and liquefaction of earthen dams from earthquakes, or landslide-generated waves within the reservoir.
Spillways and outlet works are necessary to provide capability to release an adequate rate of water from the reservoir to satisfy dam safety and water control management of the project. Furthermore, a freeboard protects the dam and embankment integrity from overflow and excessive wave overtopping caused by various factors. This course will cover all of these topics in great detail.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers as well as others interested in expanding their knowledge on the hydrologic engineering considerations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.
