Course description
Ecohydraulics is the science in which ecology is integrated into hydraulics in order to consider the sustainable development in rivers and channels. This lecture aims at providing an opportunity for students to learn physical aspects of water flow and its impact on aquatic species such as fish. We will study the topic through lectures, laboratory experiments and field excursions.
Expected Learning
Students are expected to
-Understand physical aspect of water flow
-Understand response behaviors of aquatic species against changes in physical environment
-Be able to discuss water resources management from physical and ecological viewpoints
