Students enrolled in this field of study will acquire profound knowledge about the hydrological cycle and its relation to the biosphere,pedosphere and atmosphere. They understand water related conflicts in national and international river basins and find sustainable solutionsby integrating and balancing ecological, social and economic requirements.

Physical based hydrological modeling: the need for field data
Flood risk and flood management (SS, 6 Cr): First the students will learn general motivation of flood risk management (FRM), thesocial and political framework of FRM as well as tools and models for the hydrologic/hydraulic modelling of the flood events. In thesecond part of the course, quantitative methods for analyzing the flood damage and flood risk and for risk-basedevaluation/optimization of the flood protection measures are presented. The accompanying exercises will provide brief introduction to /summary of programming in MATLAB and the students will learn how to implement the theory explained in the lectures on simple butrealistic examples using Matlab and hydrological models. In Middle Europe the distributed, conceptual model LARSIM is used widespread for flood forecast. Students also learn to use this model in a case study and hand in a report describing their results.
