Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
a. Contribution to 'Learning Outcomes' program M2.2 ; M2.3 ; M6.5 ; M6.8 b . Specific formulation for this activity LO program (maximum 10) At the end of the course and of the practicals, the students will be able: - to characterize the type of flow in channels/rivers. - to understand and be able to apply the theory on gradually varying flow and rapid varying flow; - to measure the river discharge with different techniques - to use modelling approaches to simulate river discharge and design methods to control flood risks. - to estimate hydrological model parameters by different methods - to understand stochastic hydrology concepts - to use stochastic models to calibrate and simulate river discharge |

Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
- The lectures can be given in English, but illustrated by slights in French. A reference textbook in French supports the lectures.- Field practical work for river discharge measurments
- Practical work in the computer room allow students to use advanced methods of hydrological modeling
- The practical work and the reports are a executed in teams
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
- 50% on practical reports
- 50% on oral evaluation of theory
Other information
This course can be given in English.
