After successful completion of the course, students are able to apply the following methods: Methods for the calculation and prediction of runoff at river basin scale. Water management systems (rivers, catchments, hydraulic structures) can be better managed, planned and controlled. In the lecture practical problems will be solved by the R-open source software.

BLOCK 1 (Live lecture on Zoom - Tuesday 12 October 2021, 10:00-11:00, alternative: Thursday, 4 November 2021, 10:00-11:00): Introduction/overview (Water framework Directive, management plans, real-case applications)

BLOCK 2 (Live lecture on Zoom - Tuesday 9 November 2021, 09:00-12:00): Introduction to R, Time series analysis, Extreme statistics

BLOCK 3 (Live lecture on Zoom - Tuesday 16 November 2021, 09:00-12:00): Spatial analysis for hydrological modelling

BLOCK 4 (Lecture material will be provided online - Tuesday 23 November 2021): Regional water balance modeling in Austria (overview of hydrologic models, regional modeling, application of remote sensing in hydrological modelling, TUW-model in R)

BLOCK 5 (Lecture material will be provided online - Tuesday 30 November 2021): Extreme statistics of rainfall and simulation of continous rainfall at gauged and ungauged sites 

BLOCK 6 (Live lecture on Zoom - Tuesday 7 December 2021, 09:00-12:00): Prediction of floods and runoff hydrographs in ungauged sites (regionalisation methods)

BLOCK 7 (Lecture material will be provided online - Tuesday 14 December 2021) : Operational runoff forecasting (flood forecasting, low flows prognosis, assimilation of observed data in hydrological models, updating)
