Description
The main goal in this module is to give an comprehensive overview in the main aspects of ecohydrological modeling.
Structure and interaction of different components of an ecohydrological model will be explained as well as associated calculation methods.
Water quality aspects and influencing factors from land use and land management practices will be discussed. Moreover legal foundations within the German law and the European Water Framework Directive will be presented.
In addition to lectures, students will apply their theoretical knowledge in guided exercises. Using an ecohydrological software model (SWAT) they will setup, calibrate and validate a model for a real catchment.
