Flood management [grd2zp]
| Civil Engineering |
Lectures, individual study of the chosen topic by reviewing the scientific literature, practical training in using different software tools
The course should provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art knowledge of flood control, protection and management. It deals with theory, models and practices related to floods and flood mitigation and management. Issues covered include: origins of floods, impact factors, hydrological and hydraulic flood routing methods, flood hazard, damage and risk mapping, and floodplain management. A distinction is made between fluvial floods and flash floods. Best practice policies are reviewed, with emphasis on the sustainable urban flood management.
Students should gain suffient knowldege to address various problems of flood control and flood risk management. They should become familiar with up-to-date literature, best practices and software tools, and to be able to carry out independent research in this field.
