CWE3262 Watershed Hydrology & Modeling

This module is designed to provide an advanced hydrology at watershed scale, including a study of flood hydrograph, flood routing, design flood estimation and flood control methods. It also looks at climate change and water resources sustainability as well as at human-water-climate interactions. This course focuses on modelling the rainfall-runoff process and its application to catchment areas. It will look at how water movement, storage and transformation on the Earth’s surface are influenced by landscape characteristics, including human modifications of those characteristics, and weather. This module serves as a guide for professional and competitive examinations for undergraduate students of water resources engineering.
