Geography for Geomatics II contribute to training Surveying and Geomatics Engineering students in understanding built environment that they measure, analyse, and display.
By the end of the module, students should:
- Know how humans create, view, manage, and influence space.
- Appreciate environmental conservation and resource management.
Reinforced concrete is a strong durable building material that can be formed into many varied shapes and sizes ranging from a single rectangular column, to a slender curved dome or shell. The economy, the efficiency, the strength and the stiffness of reinforced concrete make it an attractive material for a wide range of structural applications. Its utility and versatility are achieved by combining the best features of concrete and steel.
The basics of reinforced concrete design course aims to the following:
Greetings Participants

This module is designed to provide to the students the fundamentals, concepts, and theories of Physical Hydrology. This focuses on principles of exploring the principal rules that govern the flow of water on the land considering the four major types of water: atmospheric, ground, soil, and surface. Hydrology, in general, is the science that deals with the occurrence, distribution, movement, and properties of water on and beneath the surface of the Earth or in the atmosphere, and water’s relationship with the environment. Basically, Hydrology is the science of the movement, distribution, circulation, and properties of water on and beneath the earth's surface. To create an introduction to physical hydrology; this story map will discuss the water cycle, conservation of mass, watersheds, and the global water balance.
Physical hydrology particularly provides students with an introduction to quantifying the components of the hydrologic cycle namely, precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, runoff, streamflow, groundwater flow. and water storage in watersheds. Appropriate field and laboratory tests used to measure hydrologic processes and mechanistic and statistical models for data evaluation and interpretation are presented.
This module contains seven units that were individually developed in the browsable sections provided in the e-learning platform of the University of Rwanda. Those sections contain PowerPoint notes, Supplementary PDF files, Figures, and Videos. Students can download or watch, or read from this platform.
Exercises corresponding to each unit were provided and assignments were given and will be marked. Students can attempt and submit them as described in the given instructions. To successfully navigate through the module contents, students should explore them unit by unit by starting from Unit I up to Unit VII and point by point in each unit following the provided sequential order.
The course expands the scope of control to cover both horizontal and vertical controls touching on triangulation, trilateration and resection as well as precise leveling. It also covers the application of total stations for control surveys and detail surveys. By the end of the module the learner should be able to:
- To appreciate different survey controls
- Apply total station for control and detail surveys
Learning outcomes
By the end of the module learners should:
- Have adequate knowledge in conducting field surveys using total station- modern surveying instruments
- Have understanding of different survey controls
- Reaffirm their understanding of leveling
