Learning outcome
Knowledge
The student should have knowledge of:
- How hydrological models can be used for planning and operation of power plants, flood simulations and land use changes.
- 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
- Calibration, Uncertainty and evaluation of results.
- Use of GIS in hydrological modelling
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.
Compulsory assignments
- Computer exercises
Further on evaluation
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
