Description:
The subject Introduction to hydrological modelling allows the student to be familiar with the basic method of mathematical modeling applied in hydrology and hydrogeology. The subject gives opportunities to know the importance of these studies, their scope and practical applications. The course focuses on practical components. During lessons hours the student has a chance to create itself a simple hydrological and hydrogeological models, analysis the results and provide prognostic simulations.
