Week 2: Hydrology and water resources management

  • Week 2: Hydrology and water resources management

    Week 2: Hydrology and water resources management

    Starting on Monday 14 Sep at 9.00 online, the second week provides a view on hydrology and water resources management.

    Monday morning reviews the hydrological cycle and runoff generation with the aim to facilitate discussion in the class. Selected aspects of water resources management related to irrigation, groundwater, regulation of lakes and rivers, and surface water quality aspects are demonstrated.

    Monday afternoon starts with research highlight presentations. The afternoon ends with a hydrological measurement demonstration and data analysis session.

    Tuesday's Thematic Task focuses on the application of a hydrological model through an exercise. The day is organised online, where students can run the model and perform computations. The Thematic Task i.e. hydrological modelling exercise itself is a group work. Each group will be given data and hydrological model for different catchments. The group will get familiar with their site, data, and the model and make an assessment of hydrological processes in the catchment. The application part of the exercise is to extract transient climate scenarios extending from the current conditions to future, run the hydrological model with the scenarios, and assess how the climate change is seen in the studied catchments.

    Wednesday is the day to get familiar with simulation modeling and related tools and procedures, such as model calibration, validation, and sensitivity analysis. 

    Thursday is devoted to individual work on the Weekly Exercise. Extra help is available for completing the exercise in the afternoon.

    Friday is the day to finished the computations of each groups and prepare a presentation about their weekly exercise results. A mini seminar is held in the afternoon to wrap up the results.

    The week consists of the following submitted tasks:

      • Thematic task: HBV Modelling  (DL for group presentation slides: Friday 18 September 2020 at 14:00)
      • Weekly exercise: Simulation Modelling (DL Friday 25 September 2020 at 23:59)

    General schedule for the week is shown in the figure below, while the detailed schedule can be found below the figure.
