Aims

• To learn the theory of hydrological cycle, hydrometry, rainfall statistics and design storms, rainfall runoff and hydrological processes and modelling
• To learn and apply the theory of advanced open channel flow: unsteady flow, branching, … to sewer and river systems
• To learn and apply the design of sewer systems and ancillary structures
• To learn and apply hydrological and hydrodynamic modelling tools
• To demonstrate scenario analysis and model based decision support: flood and water availability management and control

Previous knowledge

Hydraulics or fluid mechanics and hydrodynamic processes
