What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to analyse watersheds, calculate water balances, and grasp flow patterns and extreme events. Master interpreting rainfall, runoff, baseflow, and groundwater recharge from real data with straightforward techniques. Investigate water quality issues, pollutant sources, and land-use effects, then craft clear reports and effective management solutions.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Watershed analysis: quickly delineate basins and extract key hydro-climate data.
- Water balance modelling: build simple P-ET-runoff budgets using open datasets.
- Flow regimes and extremes: estimate design storms, peak flows, and drought risks.
- Water quality assessment: connect land use to pollutant loads with basic methods.
- Practical mitigation: recommend targeted BMPs, stormwater, and sanitation strategies.
