Recommended Previous Knowledge:
basic knowledge in Surface Hydrology according to the lecture "Surface Hydrolgy" of the Bachelor Program Civil and Environmental Engineering
Contents:
Derivation and explanation of the mathematical fundamentals in modeling hydrological cycles and material flow processes in river basins.
introduction in rainfall-runoff-modeling, water-balance-modelling and soil-erosion-models
definition, of the data model parameter calibration and sensitive analysis with the given models at two real river basins , a rural and urban one.
presentation of different methods to retain rain water, to recharge groundwater and to stabilize soil on agricultural land
introduction to legal frameworks of water and material flow management (EU Water Framework Directive (EU-WFD), Eu Flood-Directive, regulations for groundwater protection and nature conservation) i
development of integrative river basin management plans according to EU-WFD by making use of the modeling tools and through optimization the effectiveness and efficiency of the water resources and soil conversation measures.
