Theme group Hydrological design and modeling

In water management projects as well as construction measures on waters, the hydrologist creates on the one hand planning principles in the form of design parameters such as flood, low water and storage characteristics. On the other hand, he draws up rules on how to control and operate such systems, and he predicts how they will affect the water and the water balance.

In the topic group "Hydrological Design and Modeling" the students deal with important elements of hydrological working. You learn the methods of data and area analysis, the application of specific calculation methods and the use of computer-aided simulation tools (models).
