These have been prepared by Prof PK Pande, Former Provice Chancellor, Head and Professor of Hydraulics Deptt. of Civil Engg., University of Roorkee (1960-2000) who has been enclosed in various water resources projects in the country. Modern trends in design are brought out. Copies of some relevant published/ unplublished papers on various aspects of design are included. It may be noted that published design papers are relevant to the design practice at the time of publication/ design and must be used/ modified with relevant to current practice at the time of publication/ design and must be used/ modified with relevant to current practice as per reference given in the text. The material in these notes is also part of a book entitled ‘Hydro-electric Engineering Practice in India’ being complied by author.

The total quantity of water available on earth is estimated to be about 1400 million cubic kilometer, which is enough to cover the earth with a layer 3 km deep. However, 97.3% of this is saltwater in oceans, thereby leaving only 2.7% freshwater. Again, about 75% of the freshwater lies frozen in the Polar Regions and about 22.6% is groundwater- some of it very deep to be economically extractable. The surface freshwater is thus only about 0.07% of the total water occurring on earth. With increasing population, while the demand for water increases, anthropogenic pressures are rendering many water sources unfit for use because of the high level of pollution. Development and management of water resources is thus one of the important aspects of development at the present time. HYDROLOGIC CYCLE The conceptual model describing the movement and storage of water on earth is known as the Hydrologic Cycle. The energy of the sun is responsible for this cycle (Fig.1.1). There are six processes taking place in the Hydrologic Cycle viz.: 1. Evaporation and Transpiration (Evapotranspiration) 2. Condensation 3. Advection 4. Precipitation 5. Surface Runoff 6. Infiltration and Percolation 1 Water is evaporated from the oceans, inland water bodies and land surface because of the energy supplied by sun. Water vapour also enters the atmosphere due to transpiration by plants and animals. Condensation of this vapour on the nuclei present in atmosphere results in the formation of clouds. The clouds are transported by winds (Advection) and under appropriate conditions result in precipitation in the form of rain, sleet, hail or snow.
