Advanced Hydrology, Watershed and Urban Environment
Objectives
Hydrology deals with that part of the hydrological cycle occurring around the earth surface. The hydrological cycle from precipitation to river discharge is considered, as well as the way human activity can influence water flows.
Description
- Presentation of the "big" water cycle (Watershed hydrology)
Interception
Snowmelt
Evapotranspiration
Infiltration
Hydrological response
Surface runoff and water paths
- Presentation of the "small" water cycle (urban systems)
- Data collection and analysis issues
- Implementation of a hydrological model
- Theory and exercise based learning
Targeted skills
- Distinguish the control processes of a given system:
Watersheds
Distribution system
Urban drainage system
- Formalize this understanding into a system of mathematical relationships that provides a reliable prediction of the system
- Use this model for operational forecasts useful for structural design, management and decision making
