ENN574 Catchment Hydrology and Flood Modelling

Specialist professional engineers use a depth of knowledge and skills bases to develop solutions to complex systems design problems that meet stakeholders' needs. In this specialist postgraduate unit, you will address complex problems related to modelling of rainfall/runoff in both non-urbanised and urbanised catchments. You will learn the processes that govern catchment hydrology, as well as how they can be modelled. The focus will be on state-of-the-art models and tools used in the cutting edge engineering practice. You will also hone your specialist skills in critical appraisal, analysis, synthesis and creativity, focusing on current regulations. You will demonstrate your ability to communicate specialist discipline knowledge and concepts in written, modelled and graphical forms to technical and non-technical audiences including responding to risk, ethics and stakeholder perspectives.
