| 102-0468-00L | Watershed Modelling  | 3 credits | 2G | P. Molnar | |
| Abstract | Introduction to watershed modelling with applications of GIS in hydrology, the use of semi- and fully-distributed continuous watershed models, and their calibration and validation. The course contains substantive practical modelling experience in several assignments. | ||||
| Learning objective | Watershed Modelling is a course in the Master of Science in Environmental Engineering Programme. It is a practical course in which the students learn to (a) use GIS in hydrological applications, (b) calibrate and validate models, (c) apply and interpret semi- and fully- distributed continuous watershed models, and (d) discuss several modelling case studies. This course is a follow up of Hydrology 2 and requires solid computer skills. | ||||
| Content | - Introduction to watershed modelling - GIS in watershed modelling (ArcGIS exercise) - Calibration and validation of models - Semi-distributed modelling with PRMS (model description, application) - Distributed watershed modelling with TOPKAPI (model description, application) - Modelling applications and case studies (climate change scenarios, land use change, basin erosion) | ||||
| Literature | - Lecture presentations - Exercise documentation - Relevant scientific papers all posted on the course website | ||||
