Prerequisites:
|
Basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and statistics. |
Target skills and knowledge:
|
With this course, the student acquires the basic knowledge of hydrology directed to the study of river basins: the statistics needed for analysis of hydrological variables, the methods of transformation of inflows (precipitation) into outflows (discharge), the uniform and permanent motion hydraulics in a water course. |
Examination methods:
|
Oral examination.
Learning of the course content.
Contenuti in Inglese: The first part of the course is devoted to the analysis of hydrological variables and statistical methods needed to establish the depth-duration-frequency curve. The notion of moments of the population of a statistical variable, of probability function and of probability function density are treated. Some of the fundamental probability distributions for hydrological analysis are described: normal, lognormal, exponential, double exponential. The basic properties of the population and of a sample of a statistical variable are described. Some of the methods used in hydrology to characterize a sample by a probability function are described and some of the acceptance tests of the hypothesis are faced. Then the properties of a hydrological watershed are described: Horton laws, direct and indirect classification, shape factors, separation of precipitation between surface runoff and infiltration. Finally, the main rainfall-runoff models are presented: the cinematic model, the linear reservoir model, a geomorphological model.
Attivita' di apprendimento previste e metodologie di insegnamento in Inglese: - lectures;
- study of the topics covered in the classroom through application examples;
- preparation of technical reports on the topics discussed in the classroom application.
