Overview
For whom?
The Using Open Data, QGIS and HEC-RAS for Hydraulic Modelling course at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education is designed for professionals (engineers and scientists) active in the water sector, especially those involved in using simulation models for water management.
Learning objectives
- Map results of a model in QGIS
- Interpret results of a flow model
- Explain basic principles of hydrodynamic modelling
- Prepare model inputs using GIS and open data
- Delineate catchments and streams from digital elevation models
- Build a model using HEC-RAS
Programme Structure
- For many studies models are used or developed. During modelling courses not much attention is paid to the pre-processing of input data and parameters needed for the models. A lot of open source software is available for this purpose.
- This course aims to provide the participants with the ability to find open access GIS data and more efficiently process data for their use in hydrodynamic models using QGIS. Based on the acquired knowledge participants will also attend a mapathon in the first week of the course. In the second week participants to the course will acquire practical experience during computer exercises on hydrodynamic modelling using HEC-RAS. HEC-RAS is a software program that models hydrodynamics of flow in a river and/or channel.
