|
AE2608 |
Engineering Hydrology & Climate 7.5 ECT |
The
overall aim of the course is to give an introduction to basic
principles and theories and computational ability in fluid
mechanics and fundamental knowledge about the processes in
the hydrologic cycle. |
| AE2706 |
Intergrated Water Resources Management 7.5
ECT |
The
course focuses on the theoretical and meth-odological elements
of planning and management of water resources. The participants
will work with integrated water management projects and ac-quire
insight in the EU Water Framework Directive |

AE2103
|
Environmental Aquatic Chemistry
7.5 ECT |
The
course provides a deeper understanding of processes governing
the chemistry of soil water, ground water and surface water,
focussing particularly on contaminants. The course also introduces
computer models for simulating chemical processes and for
risk assessments. |
| AE2202
|
Dynamics of Environmental Systems 7.5 ECT |
The
course extends student’s basic knowledge in geo-sciences,
physics and chemistry, to a system perspective on environmental
change, from local, regional to global scales. Emphasis is
on material flows and transformation under conditions of variability
and uncertainty. |
|
Period 3 |
AE2504 |
Water Governance 7.5 ECT |
The
course provides students with knowledge on the evaluation
and pricing of water resources, the social and cultural aspects
of water management, and the conflicts that may arise. Basic
concepts and principles for financ-ing and management of water
resources will be ana-lysed. |
| AE2301
|
Water & Waste Handling 7.5
ECT (Elective) |
The
overall aim of the course is to give knowledge of re-quirements
and goals, technical solutions, mechanisms, and management
of water, wastewater and solid waste handling systems |
| AE2609 |
Hydraulic Engineering Systems 7.5 ECT (Elective) |
The
course introduces basic knowledge used when designing hydraulic
structures in rivers, modelling unsteady, open-channel flow
and formulating river regulation plans. Specific topics that
will be covered are the hydraulic design of spill-ways, channels,
tunnels, stability computations and risk as-sessment. |
Period

AE2505 |
Water Systems & Geographic Information
7.5 ECT |
The
course provides students with knowledge on the ap-plication
of geographical information systems (GIS) and other decision
support systems in the planning and man-agement of water systems. |
| AE2104
|
Environmental Measuring &
Monitoring 7.5 ECT (Elective) |
The
course gives knowledge in field data collection and evaluation
techniques. The overall aim is to provide stu-dents with knowledge
of site investigation and evaluation techniques, and the ability
to formulate and analyse a site investigation program for
hydrological and environ-mental monitoring. |
| AE2602 |
Applied Hydrology 7.5 ECT (Elective)
|
The
overall aim of the course is to demonstrate the link be-tween
basic theory of hydraulics and hydrology more applied problems
in hydrology and water resources development. |
