Description
Advanced hydrological principles and modelling. Frequency analysis of extreme events (storms, floods, and droughts). Rainfall-runoff and routing models. Groundwater flow and well pumping.
Learning Outcomes
The course aims to introduce students to advanced techniques of hydrological analysis that are of particular relevance to engineering and environmental design, planning and management. At the completion of this course the student will:
• gain an understanding of advanced hydrological processes and techniques necessary for tackling engineering and environmental problems, such as predicting design floods and assessing the impact of human influences on inland water bodies.
• be introduced to concepts and techniques necessary for an understanding and quantitative prediction of groundwater flows and well pumping
• be able to apply advanced computer models for hydrological prediction.The course aims to introduce students to basic aspects and techniques of hydrology that are of particular relevance to engineering and environmental design, planning and management.
