Introduction to river hydrology and hydraulics

Events - Public

Starting 19 Feb 2013 - 09:00 through to 20 Feb 2013 - 17:01

Sustainable catchment management relies on a robust understanding of rainfall-runoff and hydraulic processes, of how variability in catchment characteristics can influence rates and volumes of runoff, and of the relationship between flow and water level at any location. The development of appropriate catchment management solutions is also dependent on the ability to correctly evaluate the impact of different options.

 

The lectures will guide delegates through the fundamental science, the most up to date supporting tools, and will demonstrate content and relevance through a series of worked examples. The course is designed for anyone who requires an understanding of the key hydrological and hydraulic processes, and computational techniques.

 

The course will cover:

  • Hydrometric analysis
  • Estimating flows  and flow hydrographs
  • River flow processes
  • Conveyance
  • Flow resistance and roughness
  • Behaviour and modelling of river structures
