Students who complete the module:

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Must have knowledge on complex hydrological, hydraulic, chemical, and biological processes in urban drainage systems.
  • Must have knowledge on different numerical models for simulation of relevant complex processes in drainage systems.

Skills

  • Must be able to apply commercial models for simulation of relevant processes in drainage systems.
  • Must be able to develop and code simple models for simulation of relevant processes in drainage systems.
  • Must be able to apply methods for calibration and validation of models.
  • Must be able to apply probabilistic methods in order to quantify uncertainties in urban drainage models.
