Course Objective

This course aims to provide a comprehensive account of some of the current models (both statistical and computer models) of watershed hydrology. To achieve this objective, a variety of models that together span a range of characteristics are described. Some of the models represent a large class of models, some comprehensive, some applicable to a number of environmental processes, and some are equipped with the GIS and remote sensing capability. The course contents cover the description of the theory and the application of these models which will also be demonstrated on PC
