Water management and modelling Field of study: Aquamatics - Interdisciplinary Management of Water Environments
Programme code: W2-S2AQA24.2024

Module name: Water management and modelling
Module code: AQ_003
Programme code: W2-S2AQA24.2024
Semester: winter semester 2025/2026
Language of instruction: English
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 6
Purpose and description of the content of education:
In the laboratory, the student acquires the skills to acquire tools for the preparation of a surface water model, prepare these tools for work, parameterization of the model, its calibration and validation. The classes additionally prepare the student for the task of choosing a tool for the purpose of work and selecting appropriate input data, as well as evaluating a model made by oneself or by another person. During the consultation, the student has the opportunity to obtain more detailed information on the tools and methods presented during laboratory classes. They also have the opportunity to obtain support in the preparation of a project that is the basis for verifying learning outcomes.
