Introducing students to the concepts of hydrologic modelling and application of the selected models. 

The students are capable of critical perception of the existing hydrologic models and the assumptions about the physical processes involved in the models, and are capable of choosing an adequate model structure for different purposes. The students are capable of development and independent application of hydrologic models in the research and practice.

Basic principles of the rainfall-runoff process and its modelling. History of hydrologic models.  Input data. Conceptual models. Physically based models. Distributed models. Model calibration and optimization of parameters. Uncertainty analysis. Applications.
