The objective of the course is to learn how GIS based information can be converted for hydrological modeling by lectures on GIS and data processes (including remote sensing) and by introduction to hydrological modeling tools such as HEC-RAS, PCRASTER and SWAT.

Learning objectives

On completion of this course the student is able to:

Learn how spatial information can be processed using GIS tools
Learn how hydrological models can be set up using spatial data
Learn how hydrological models can be evaluated by spatial data

Target group

The course is designed for professionals (engineers and scientists) active in the water sector, especially those involved in using simulation models for water management.
