Water Management in a Non Stationnary Environment - 5EU5WAT6

Goal(s)

• To be able to produce regionalized (spatial) data, e.g. on a watershed, using several methods.
• To understand notions of meteorology (general circulation, thermodynamics, perecipitation) and climatology (climate model, climate change scenario) required for hydrological forecasting.
• To be aware of the need to take into account non stationarities (climate or change in land use) in long-term hydrological forecasting and management of water resources.
• To be able to apply new methodologies for hydrological forecasting at several lags.
• To be able to use climate projections for sectorial impact studies

Content(s)

An approach linked with research is privileged in this in-depth module.
It is divided into three parts:

1. Meteorology and climatology.
2. Geostatistics and spatial data;
3. Forecast and management of water resources in a non stationary context.

A short-project in the module called "Engineering of hydraulic structure" III will allow to link the three areas teached in this module.
