2. Interaction Ship/Waterway
(Ship-induced Propulsion, Safety of Embankments, Harbour Infrastructure, …)
3. Hydraulic Structures
(Weir, Dams, Spillways, Water Locks, Hydropower Plants, …)
The main objectives of hydraulic engineering aim to minimize the natural adverse effects to human interests, and to
optimize the benefits to human interests.
