Hydrology and Water Management

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

Engineering Hydrology

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.

Water Chemistry

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.
