A comprehensive overview of the fundamental areas of hydraulic engineering and water management is provided ( river barriers, dams, operating facilities, hydroelectric power plants, river engineering, flow conditions and sediment transport). The formation of precipitation and runoff (water cycle) is explained, as are stochastic methods for estimating the formation of floods. Introduction / basics of hydrostatics, mechanics, as well as pipe and channel hydraulics. Hydraulic engineering measures such as the construction of dams and river barriers, as well as flood retention basins, dikes and flood polders as flood protection measures are also discussed, as well as river engineering with the areas of flow calculation, bedload problems and natural measures. The legal basis, regulations and standards are also presented.
