Mr. Aditya Khandekar
The purpose of this six week summer project for RET teachers is to provide them with an understanding of the
civil engineering profession which includes the field of hydrology. This goal was accomplished by class
participation in a Hydrology course and involvement in a Fluids lab class. RET teachers also became familiar
with the water cycle and how flooding is created as well as controlled during this continuous cycle.
Educational Goals
Students will learn about the water
cycle and how this can create flooding
situations. They will also learn how the
use of hydrology techniques can
control most cases of flooding and the
damage caused.
Approach and Methods
***Students will become familiar
with new vocabulary***
1. Hydrology
2. Water Cycle
3. Precipitation
4. Evaporation
5. Infiltration
6. Transpiration

Final Outcomes _ Extra Credit
Students will learn about the
Community Collaborative Rain Hail
and Snow Network (also Known as
CoCoRAHS) and how the Rain gauge
to the left is used to track rainfall. As
an extra credit assignment the
students will be given a chance to use
the rain gauge and collect rainfall data.
