The objective of this module is to provide students with complementary concepts of Hydrology, with emphasys on the modelling of the effects of climate change
Course Prerequisites
Having passed the exams of Mathematical analysis, Physics and Hydrology
Teaching Methods
Lectures and exercises taught by the lecturer in the classroom
Assessment Methods
The student's preparation will be assessed with an oral test with discussion on the report written by the students
