It is requested that the student already passed a course in Hydraulics or in Environmental Hydraulics and, possibly, it is highly recommended he attended at least a course in Hydrology.

Educational Goals

The student will be able to design instruments and systems for hydrometeorological monitoring, as precipitation, runoff, soil moisture, snowpack and know principle of remore sensing for environmental monitoring.
In the second part of the course river training and engineering works design criteria will be investigated, including flood retention basins, torrent control structures.

Content

Hydrometeorological monitoring systems
Precipitation and runoff measurements. Satellite and radar monitoring of hydrological basins and of hydrological hazards.
Torrent and river restoration. River dikes and retention basins design. Watershed erosion and its control.

Extended Syllabus

Hydrometeorological monitoring systems. Precipitation and runoff measurements. Soil moisture and soil hydraulic properties measurements.
Snowpack measurements and monitoring. Satellite and radar monitoring of hydrological basins and of hydrological hazards. 

Torrent and river restoration. Sediment transport. Effect of vegetaion in rivers. River dikes and retention basins design.
Check dam design. Soil erosion and its control.

Teaching Methods

3 to 5 hours/week of theory and 3 to 5 hours/week of classrom exercises.
Homework
Oral examination

Assessment Methods

Students have to attend and complete classroom exercises which will be completed as homework. Design of some structures of dams and of river engineering structures including environmental impact mitigation measures will be collected in a written report delivered to the professor one week before the oral exam.
