Module Description
Contents and qualification aims
The module covers software-supported modelling of hydrological, hydraulic, and sedimentological processes using GIS, the application of HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, and Basement for runoff estimation, flow simulation, and sediment transport analysis, including water balance, flood modelling, and erosion dynamics. Other content includes scenario-based assessments taking into account climate and land use changes, as well as practical case studies and exercises on simulation, analysis, and sustainable watershed management.
Students are able to model hydrological and hydraulic processes as well as sediment transport using advanced software. By integrating geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing data, and computer-aided tools, they can analyse the effects of land use, flow behaviour, and sediment dynamics and transform data into actionable insights for sustainable watershed management.
