Water Resources Engineering Laboratory
WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING LABORATORY
This Laboratory is housed in the Basement – 1 of the Library Building of North South University. The floor area of this laboratory is 168.086 sqm with enough space for using experimental measurements. A large number of experiments could be performed in the laboratory to demonstrate the principles of fluid mechanics deals with the different experiments. The main objective of this laboratory is to build fundamental concepts combined with strong analytical and problem solving abilities that would form the backbone of many other subjects in higher educations. This laboratory is extensible for UG/PG teaching and research purposes.
