Sumerians designed complex systems of canals, dams, and gates to regulate water flow. What is this application of fluid mechanics called?
A
Chemical Engineering
B
Hydraulic Engineering
C
Electrical Engineering
D
Civil Engineering
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydraulics is a mechanical function that operates through the force of liquid pressure. In hydraulics-based systems, mechanical movement is produced by contained, pumped liquid, typically through hydraulic cylinders moving pistons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluid mechanics is a branch of mechanics and studies about fluid (liquid + Gasses) while Hydraulics is a branch of fluid mechanics which studies about engineering liquids i.e. Most of the time Hydraulics is concerned with water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydraulics – The study or science of the motion of liquids in relation to disciplines such as fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics. It rains and roadway surface runoff flows into the roadway. ditch = hydrology. Determining the water level in the ditch and how fast the. water is moving = hydraulics.
