        Course Description
	




 
 



Introduction to systems analysis and various optimization techniques, 
economic analysis, linear programming, and uncertainty and reliability 
analysis.  Applications will focus on hydrosystems, including water 
demand forecasting, surface water systems, groundwater systems, and 
water distribution systems.

	Attendance and Examination Policy
	







	
	
    
	
  1. Attendance of lectures is not required, but is strongly encouraged 
		as it affects the quality of learning and performance on exams.  
		Your presence is required for all tests and exams.
		
    
	 
  2. Examinations will deal with textbook and handout material and
		with the homework problems covered between examinations.  
		Examinations are open book, meaning that students may 
		bring and use their textbook, lecture notes, handouts 
		and graded homework during the examination. Students 
		may not bring other textbooks, problem solution 
		manuals or other non-course materials during the 
		examination.
	

	












	
	
	Honor Code
	
	

	 
	
	

	Each test and exam must include the words 
	"honor pledge" written next to your signature, 
	indicating your adherence to the university honor code.  
	You may work with others only on homework assignments.
