Course content
Lumped and distributed precipitation - runoff models. Updating and inflow prognosis. GIS systems in hydrological applications. Floods and flood warning. Snow hydrology. Models of river systems. Simulation of hydropower systems.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The student should have knowledge of:
- How hydrological models can be used for planning and operation of power plants
- Theorietical foundation of the models
- What simplifications and approcimations that must be made for practical use
- Which input required, uncertainty and errors in the data, and methods for correction
Skills: Students will be able to:
- Calibrate and use rainfall-runoff HBV model to calculate drainage in a catchment
- Calculating snowmelt with a degree day model and an energy balance model
- Setup and application of a distributed model.
General competance:
Students can:
- Link between basic hydrological theory and application of models
- Choose between which problems that may be solved with simplistic models, and which require more complicated models
- Understand how GIS can be used for hydrologic and hydraulic calculations
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and seminars. Exercises and applications of computer models. Field exercises. Lectures in English. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
Compulsory assignments
- Field exercises
- Computer exercises
