1.731 | Water Resource Systems |
Instructor: | Prof. Dennis McLaughlin | Rm. 48-209 | 253-7176 |
This subject is concerned with quantitative methods for analyzing large-scale water resource problems. Topics covered include the design and management of facilities such as irrigation areas, water treatment plants, and networks of reservoirs and associated canals. Simulation models and optimization methods are often used to support analyses of water resource problems. In this subject we will be constructing simulation models with the MATLAB programming language and solving numerical optimization problems with the GAMS optimzation package. It is desirable for students taking this subject to have some background in hydrology, linear algebra and programming, although these are not strict prerequisites. Class periods will generally be divided into 40 minutes of lecture and 40 minutes of related hands-on computer work using laptops available in the classroom. There will be two in-class exams. Homework will vary in complexity from straightforward problem sets to mini-projects which resemble real-world applications. The grade will be based on exams (60%) and homework (40%). A detailed schedule is provided below. |
