Here in Colorado the study of hydrology is used to relate the natural flow of water to the built environment. Water is one of the most beautiful and powerful forces we know; it can also be the most destructive. As engineers we use the properties of water to design structures that both compliment and respect the forces of water. We design channels that pass the entire design flow, but donâ’t erode the banks under the waterâ’s force and speed, bridges that span water and culverts that convey it.
