Role Of Civil Engineering In Transportation Engineering.

1. Transportation engineering deals with the design, construction and maintenance of all forms of transportation infra – structures from roads to airports etc.
2. Quality of a society is directly depending on the quality of its transportation system.
3. Civil engineering works to move people, goods and materials safely and efficiently from one place to another place. They find new ways for increasing travel needs on land, air and sea.
4. Civil engineering design, constructs and maintain all types of transportation facilities airports, railways, highways and docks and harbor.
5. They are also involved in the construction of bridges, tunnels, canals etc.
6. They also deals with the management , operation and control of streets, highways to make traffic flow smooth one.

What Is Irrigation Engineering?-Applications Of Irrigation Engineering

  A) Irrigation Engineering.

• Definition :-( Irrigation engineering is the branch or basic area of civil engineering which deals with the development of water sources and proper arrangement of distribution of water from the source developed.)

• Irrigation engineering is used for the purpose  of cultivation of crop and for drinking and industrial use.
• The water source is developed by constructing a dam on a river or a stream to retain the water on one of its side.
• Ground water storage can also be developed by constructing the percolation tank.

B)  Applications O Irrigation Engineering.

:- Irrigation engineering or we call it as water resources engineering helps to achieve the following objectives :

1. Development of water resource at the right place.
2. It determines the capacity of reservoir.
3. It ensures water supply during periods of less rainfall or during summer when water is not available in abundance.
4. Crop rotation can be done effectively.
5. It helps to study the flood control devices.
6. It helps to study the design of different structures such as spillways , weirs and canals.
7. Construction and maintenance of dams, canals and regulatory works for supply of water when ever it is needed either to fields or to the public.
8. From the knowledge of Irrigation engineering, design and construction of different types of dams can be done.
