Introduction

Water-resources decisions must convert variable rainfall, catchment response and uncertain records into reliable estimates of flow, storage and risk. The quality of a model depends as much on data screening, assumptions and scale as on the selected computational method.

This five-day course equips water, civil and environmental engineers to apply hydrological analysis and integrated water-resources principles. Participants will evaluate data, estimate design events, build rainfall-runoff models, route floods and assess groundwater and reservoir behaviour. Workshops culminate in a resilient catchment-management strategy.

Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Evaluate hydro-meteorological data quality.
Characterise catchment water balance.
Estimate design rainfall and floods.
Build rainfall-runoff models.
Route flows through rivers and reservoirs.
Assess surface-groundwater interaction.
Evaluate water-allocation trade-offs.
Develop a resilient water strategy.
