Rationale  & Objective :
This subject “Hydraulics & Irrigation Engineering” is one of the important papers of civil engineering which can be utilised in improving the basic occupation i.e. Agriculture of the rural area as depends on water also. The hydraulics deals with the effect of water in both hydrostatic & kinetic stage as well as characteristics of flowing in open channel as well as irrigation explains the basic concept of applications of fluid flow problems in wide variety of irrigation structures like canal, canal Head works, Regulatory and Cross Drainage works etc. To ensure a correct and economical design of an irrigation system an engineer must be acquainted with the aspect of irrigation as well as principle of Hydraulics.
The knowledge and skill of Hydraulics & Irrigation will create an appropriate attitude of technicians of Civil Engineering (Rural) towards solving the basic needs of Agriculture of Rural areas.
With this objective, this subject is divided into two groups-Groups A & Group B. Group a deals with the topics of Hydraulics whereas Group B contains the topics of Irrigation. The details of topics are as follows:
