Outcome / Qualification etc.

On successful completion of this course you will be able to:

  • Identify and evaluate the standard types of numerical models in use in hydrology and water-related problems,
  • Formulate the generic process of model design, building, calibration and validation,
  • Recognise some of the uncertainties introduced in this process,
  • Assess the model building process in the context of the system under consideration,
  • Construct a hydrological model in a user-friendly environment and use it to assess climate change impacts.

Core content

  • Introduction to the wide range of applications of numerical models to address water-related problems,
  • Overview of the types of models applied; mechanistic, semi-empirical and empirical models. Why these different forms exist, and what are their strengths and weaknesses? How are they applied?
  • Identifying the selection criteria and rational for a modelling approach,
  • Introduction to numerical solutions and empirical solutions to model parameterisation and calibration,
  • Recognising limits and uncertainties; validating the model. Recognising the importance of good data.
