Aim: To be able to (1) apply deterministic hydrological models for calculation of surface water runoff, and (2) use stochastic methods for simulation of inflow to reservoirs as well for estimation of floods.

Contents: Physical description and modelling of rainfall-runoff processes at catchment scale. Different model types and their application potential. Surface water runoff and flood routing. Calibration and practical use of a rainfall-runoff model. Decomposition of runoff time series and description of their deterministic and stochastic components. Use of simulated time series for design of a drinking water reservoir. Stochastic models for description of extreme hydrological events (floods and droughts). Use of regional information in estimation of design floods. Knowledge of spreadsheets is required for problem solving.
