Credit points: 6.00
Contact: 18 lectures and 8 hours tutorials/practical work
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this subject, students should:
- be able to describe mathematically the hydrologic processes - interception, surface storage, infiltration, runoff, unsaturated and saturated flow, evaporation and transpiration
- be able to numerically represent terrain
- understand model structures and capability, accuracy, parsimony and optimization procedures
Content:
Mathematical description and numerical solution of hydrologic processes: rainfall, interception, surface storage, infiltration, runoff, unsaturated and saturated flow, evaporation, transpiration, numerical representation of terrain. Model structure: empirical and process based, lumped and distributed parameters. Other modelling considerations: model capability, accuracy, parsimony, optimization.
Assessment:
A two-hour examination; reports and assignments up to a total of 30 pages.
