Overview
What you will learn
On successful completion of this Introduction to Hydrological Modelling course offered by Cranfield University 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.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- 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,
- Numerical solutions and empirical solutions to model parameterisation and calibration,
- Recognising limits and uncertainties; validating the model. Recognising the importance of good data.
