19 | Objective of the Course: | To teach the hydrological, hydraulic and topographic properties of the river catchments. To teach the rainfall-runoff relationship in the catchments. To teach the processes that affects the cross section and flow rate. To teach flood generation and forecasting of flood by deterministic and probabilistic methods and models. Flood postpone in riverbed and dam reservoirs. To teach the basic principles about the flood control preventions and economical analysis of the floods. In addition, To inform the knowledge about drought management and to teach drought periods and regional drought analyzing. |
20 | Contribution of the Course to Professional Development | Students will be informed about taking precautions against flood and drought problems that may occur within the scope of climate change, which will have more effects in the coming years. |
