- Learning verification modality
- Oral exam aimed to verify the student knowledges, his discussion capacity, his applicative capacity related to solve hydraulics problems.The exam consists in a discussion of about 30-45 minutes on 3 questions at least. The questions are related to differents topics (hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, soil water retention) of the programme illustrated during the lectures.
- Extended program

WATER RESOURCES in AGRO-FOREST LANDS
Hydrological cycle. Precipitation. Evapotraspiration. Overland flow. Infiltration. Percolation. Groundwater.
HYDROSTATICS
Intensity of pressure. Variation of pressure in a liquid. Surfaces of equal pressure. Diagram of pressure in a plane area. Total pressure on a plane area. Center of pressure. Horizontal pressure on curved surface. Vertical pressure on curved surface.
Practical training: pressure diagram, water pressure on weirFLUIDS in MOTION
Kinematics of fluid flow. Equation of continuity. Bernoulli's theorem. Extention of Bernoulli's theorem. Flow through pipes. Flow in open channel.Practical training: Bernouilli's applicicative problems, Hydraulics designs
HYDROSTATICS in SOIL WATER ZONE
Interfacial tension. Adsorption. Capillarity. Capillary pressure. Moisture Retention. Moisture distribution in a vertical profile. Retention curves.
GROUNDWATER MOTION
Flow in the unsaturated zone (outlines). Aquifers. Darcy's law. Hydraulic conductivity.Wells.Practical training: wells
