Learning Outcome:Understanding of modelling and information management methods in hydroengineering projects using simulation and data analysis tools.
Contents:
  • Modelling using hydroinformatics systems in hydroengineering projects
  • Physical understanding, data preparation
  • Model set-up, scenario definition, sensitivity analysis, result analysis
  • Application examples for real case studies (flooding, groundwater and coastal regions)
  • Presentations from flood and groundwater management projects as application examples in cooperation with invited external experts 
Methods and approaches for assessing groundwater resources regarding quality and quantity with a focus on the regional scale (large river drainage basins).
Main topics are:
  • Characterisation of groundwater quality; statistical methods to assess natural and anthropogenically influenced conditions; groundwater protection; examples from current research
  • Balancing the water budget; components of the water balance, esp. groundwater recharge
  • Environmentally important mass fluxes in soil and groundwater (esp. nitrogen, phosphorus)
  • Modelling of water balance components and of mass fluxes; concepts, necessary data, validation, software; examples from current research
Recommended Prerequisites:
  • Successful participation in module Hydroloy & Hydraulics (11510 or 41414) with good result
    (ERM Module 11510 mark ≤2.0)
  • Advanced understanding of computer based water related modelling techniques (data and processes), numerical methods (FDM, FEM, FVM), GIS and time series analysis. 
  • Experiences in use of numerical simulation tools (esp. for 1D and 2D hydraulic modelling)
  • Hydroengineering knowlegde and skills
