- The candidate should be able to utilize knowledge on processes in solving advanced problems within hydrology. The candidate should also be able to do advanced research and implement solutions and disseminate results on an international level.

General competence:
- The candidate should be able to utilize knowledge from the course in solving hydrological problems related to water resources.
- The candidate should also be able to present results in national and international venues.

Learning methods and activities

The course content and form will to a large degree be adapted to the number of students and the needs of each student. Project work that counts for 100% of the grade. To pass the course a score of at least 70 percent is required. The course is lectured only when phd students are enrolled, and when few students are enrolled the course is organised as a self study.
