Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
a. Contribution to 'Learning Outcomes' program M2.2 ; M2.3 ; M6.5 ; M6.8 b . Specific formulation for this activity LO program (maximum 10) At the end of the course and of the practicals, the students will be able: - to characterize the type of flow in channels/rivers. - to understand and be able to apply the theory on gradually varying flow and rapid varying flow; - to measure the river discharge with different techniques - to use modelling approaches to simulate river discharge and design methods to control flood risks. - to estimate hydrological model parameters by different methods - to understand stochastic hydrology concepts - to use stochastic models to calibrate and simulate river discharge |
