Ingenieurhydrologie / Engineering Hydrology
ihy

Die Ingenieurhydrologie führt in die Anwendung hydrologischen Wissens zur Bemessung von Extremereignissen (Regen, Hochwasser, Trockenwetterabfluss), zur Planung von Eingriffen (Pumpraten, Entnahmeraten, Planung von Speichern) und zur Veränderung von hydrologischen Prozessen für bauliche oder Umweltmaßnahmen ein (Sanierung, Grundwassermanagement).

This course is offered alternatively in English and in German and introduces Hydrology and Water Resources Management.

The course Engineering Hydrology forms part of the English Track for Bachelor students of civil engineering. The course introduces students to engineering hydrology, calculations of flood risk, flood routing, rainfall-runoff modeling, lake and dam retention and key tools for civil engineers needed for hydrological engineering tasks such as regression, optimization, unvertainty analysis and prediction.

The course on water chemistry introduces hydrochemical processes along the different compartments of the water cycle in the atmosphere (water-gas exchange), in soils (water-solid ion exchange and surface complexation), in groundwater (mass balance and mineral dissolution, precipitation and redox), in rivers (transport and biogeochemistry) and in the interface with saltwater in coastal areas.

The course on Hydrological Engineering aims developing the capacity of students to engineer solutions based on hydrological principles and uses python packages as a tool to investigate controlling factors on hydrological processes and the sensitivity of processes to external drivers.

This courses introduces the use of artificial tracers, the calculation of amounts, selection of tracers, measurment and modeling techniques.
