In this subject, students will learn to solve practical hydrological problems by using the latest research results and the latest research and industry tools. Learning will be student-led and project-based, supported by teaching staff members. Students will learn to scope projects, develop methods, collate data, conduct analyses, write up and present project reports. Each student will work on three projects.
Project modules will vary from year to year. Example modules are design flood modelling, groundwater modelling, hydrodynamic modelling, rainfall-runoff modelling, river system modelling.
