Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| -fundamentals of hydrology
-potential evaporation and evapotranspiration
-precipitation : measurements, spatialisation
-actual evaporation and evapotranspiration
-streamflows measurements
-interception
-infiltration
-statistical analysis of hydrological data
-rain-flow modelling (fundamentals) |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| After completing the course, the student will reach a full competency level to
- describe a natural system and understand its hydrological behaviour
- stand an environmental management problem in the field of hydrology, identify the scientific questions and data necessary to solve them.
The student will reach an intermediate level to
-identify the different energetic, water and gas fluxes between environmental reservoirs.
The student will reach a basic level to
- identify and quantify the threats to natural systems through soil and water caracterizations.
Therefore, after completing the course the student is expected to
-define main hydrological terms
-describe technical measurement tools
-discuss about main measurements pros and cons
-calculate the terms of water cycle within a watershed
-analyse observed time series (flow, rain, ...)
-make a preliminary interpretation of hydrological data
-explain different simple modelling systems, their principles and limitations |
