What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to plan and carry out precise water flow surveys in harbours and channels. Gain knowledge of hydrodynamics, choose and set up ADCPs and current meters, plan survey lines, and handle operations safely. Process data, compute discharge rates, assess uncertainties, and deliver clear reports for navigation, dredging, and tidal analysis.
