Course Contents

Hydrologiccycle. Precipitationtypesandinstrumentsforhydrologicmeasurements. Statistical analysis of hydrological data. Rainfall intensity–duration–frequency relationship. Frequency analysis of extreme hydrological events (floods, droughts). Evaporation and transpiration. Infiltration and recharge. Watershed water balance. Runoff prediction, Unit hydrograph, Synthetic hydrographs. Waterqualitycharacteristics. Projectsutilizingwaterresources.

Educational Goals

The aim of this course is to provide students with the fundamental knowledge, concerning: the basic hydrological concepts and the importance of hydrology forthe integratedwater resources management, the hydrological processes taking place at a watershed level, the characteristic components of Hydrologic Cycle (precipitation, infiltration,evapotranspiration, runoff), analysis of hydrographs, and the water balance estimation.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to process hydrological data, apply methods for estimating peak flow rates, evapotranspiration, runoff, flooding,and apply statistical methods to analyze extreme hydrological events.

General Skills

Retrieve, analyze and synthesize data and information employing use of necessary technologies. Individual/autonomous assignment. Design and project management. Respect for the natural environment.
