Course objectives:
The enhancement of the topics of ENMO1 subject focusing on hydrodynamic modelling, dynamic erosion modelling and ecological modelling. The stress is put on practical exercises:
Rainfall-runoff modelling: advanced modelling techniques and calibration of semi-distributed and distributed models. Modelling in HEC-HMS, HYDROG, SIMWE and TOPMODEL softwares.
Hydraulic modelling: input data and their pre-processing, creation of a model of stream channel and its surroundings in GIS. Modelling in HEC-RAS, determination of flood hazard zones in GIS.
Dynamic soil erosion modelling in the SWAT model. Sediment and contaminant transport in various environments. Most widely used software products for soil erosion solution. Ecological modelling using the tools of GIS and numeric modelling (HEC-EFM).
GIS visualization of output data. Other tools of environmental modelling (neural networks, cellular automata etc.).


Requirements on student
The students will take a practical exam in modelling on PC defending used methods of modelling.

Content
1. Problematics of hydrological and environmental modelling, available software, description of main methodologies.
2. Schematization of river sections in GIS.
3. Preprocessing for a hydrodynamic model (HEC-GeoRAS).
4 - 7. Hydrodynamic modelling (HEC-RAS or MIKE 11).
8. Fluvial soil erosion modelling, RUSLE versus dynamic erosion models (advantages, data requirements).
9 -11. Erosion modelling (RUSLE, AVSWAT).
12. Atmospheric, climatic and global circulation models. Other environmental models, other tools for hydrology and water management (fuzzy logic, neural networks).
13. Practical test.
