Tools for Teaching Hydrological and Environmental Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Being able to work with mathematical models of hydrological and environmental systems becomes increasingly important for students of civil and environmental engineering departments. Courses or course sections teaching the specific skills needed are slowly making their way into the curriculum. This paper discusses the requirements for tools to teach these topics. Two example tools for model identification and for model evaluation are presented in detail. The paper closes with a section on our experience of using these tools in undergraduate and graduate civil and environmental engineering education in the UK and in the USA.

Numerical and visual evaluation of hydrological and environmental models using the Monte Carlo analysis toolbox
The detailed evaluation of mathematical models and the consideration of uncertainty in the modeling of hydrological and environmental systems are of increasing importance, and are sometimes even demanded by decision makers. At the same time, the growing complexity of models to represent real-world systems makes it more and more difficult to understand model behavior, sensitivities and uncertain...
متن کاملThe impact of an urbanizing tropical watershed to the surface -runoff
The lack of hydrological data for urbanizing watersheds in developing countries is one of the challenges facing decision making. Msimbazi River is located in the city center of Dar es Salaam and is highly influenced by human activities; this includes dense populations that are characterized by informal settlements. The catchment is currently undergoing flooding, which triggers a dilemma in its ...
متن کاملTeaching hydrological modeling with a user-friendly catchment-runoff-model software package
Computer models, especially conceptual models, are frequently used for catchment hydrology studies. Teaching hydrological modeling, however, is challenging, since students have to both understand general model concepts and be able to use particular computer programs when learning to apply computer models. Here we present a new version of the HBV (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenavdelning) model. This...
متن کاملParameterization of a Hydrological Model for a Large, Ungauged Urban Catchment
Urbanization leads to the replacement of natural areas by impervious surfaces and affects the catchment hydrological cycle with adverse environmental impacts. Low impact development tools (LID) that mimic hydrological processes of natural areas have been developed and applied to mitigate these impacts. Hydrological simulations are one possibility to evaluate the LID performance but the associat...
