Description

Competence Goal
Students are able to explain the most relevant processes of Hydrology including their feedbacks and limitations. They know the concepts to describe and predict these processes in the context of science and water management. Furthermore are they able to independently apply related computer-based tools for analysis and prediction for standard situations. Students are able to evaluate the required data and to quantify and evaluate the uncertainties related to the simulations and predictions.

Content
This module deepens the fundamentals of the water and energy cycles with particular regard to:
the soil as the central control element of the water and energy cycle and the interplay of soil water and ground heat balance

• evaporation, energy balance and processes in the atmospheric boundary layer;
• runoff and  evaporation regimes in different hydro-climates;
• water balance and floods at the catchment scale and statistics for water management;
• the interplay between runoff processes and soil water balance, and the soil as filter system;
• concepts of hydrological similarity and comparative hydrology;
• process-based and conceptual models to simulate water balances and predict flood.
