Systems and Process Hydrology
System- und Prozesshydrologie
6 CPWinterEN
Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
knowledge of hydrology
Contents
Description of hydrological processes as well as evaluation and presentation of associated data; adaptation of distribution functions to runoff data, derivation of flood design values with different data; design precipitation. Basic system hydrological description approaches; application of system hydrology for river basin modelling. Deepening of the methods in exercises with practical examples.
Learning outcomes
Students are able to analyse hydrological processes and to obtain and interpret hydrological data from hydrological annuals and internet sources. They can use standard procedures for hydrological dimensioning, probability analysis and extreme value statistics (especially flood statistics). They are furthermore able to apply basic methods of deterministic simulation of hydrological processes, modelling and modelling.
Assessment
Written exam at the end of the lecture period (90 min.)
