Goal(s)
To provide further insight in the state of the art and application of rainfall-runoff modelling of river basins.
To build capacity in the use of different types of hydrological models.
To build capacity in modelling results analysis and evaluation.
Content(s)
Generalities on hydrological modellong : objectives, types, application frameworks.
The students learn
- when and how to select a stochastic, a conceptual, a physically-based, a lumped, a semi-distributed and distributed model according to the objective of the study
- what are the issues and methods in calibration and validation of the different types of models
- how to perform sensitivity analyses on calibrated parameter values and/or initial conditions
- what are the principal methods of regional parameterization and what are the issues to be studied in using hydrological model in climate change studies
