The apparatus used in the course is supplied by the Chemistry Department;
a
deposit must be paid and evidence of payment must be produced before practicalclasses begin. .
Students are required to provide themselves with an approved box of analytical weights. - _
Instruction will be given in the methods for systematic consultation of chemical literature and students will make
a
study of the original literature on selected topics.Booкs. (a) Recommended for preliminary vacation reading :

(ii) Hydraulic Engineering. Topics such as the following:
Rainfall : Distribution, intensity, run-off, evaporation, percolation. Waterway for bridges and culverts.
Rivers : Flood prevention, improvement and regulation.
Storage Reservoirs : Determination of capacity ; earthen, masonry, concrete and other dams ; outlet works, waste weirs ; preservation of catchments.
Conduits: Channels, flumes, pipe lines. Variable flow in channels. Waves.
Water Supply: Purification of water. Reticulation. Service reservoirs, water towers, stand pipes.
Sewerage and Drainage: Sewerage of towns and isolated buildings, drainage, separate and combined systems, sewage treatment, disposal of wastes, pumping stations.
