Description

This module will deal with a presentation of fundamental analysis and design methods required to understand hydrology and hydrogeology in diverse areas (rural, urban, hill, plain and floodplain). It will provide an overview of modern instrumentation with field practices. It will address the hydrological database management and an introduction to the modelling approach for ecological engineering under SWAT environment. It will focus on eco-hydrology and ecological engineering.
