What it is about

You will learn to assess flood risks and plan and evaluate flood risk management measures. The module covers hydrological modeling, methods for hazard and damage assessment, and quantitative risk considerations including uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. In the end you will be able to evaluate protection measures, apply MATLAB and LARSIM in a domain-specific manner, and consider legal and societal framework conditions.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand fundamental concepts of flood risk management
  • Classify legal and societal framework conditions
  • Carry out hydrological modeling of floods
  • Apply quantitative methods for hazard and damage assessment
  • Quantify flood risk and assess uncertainties
  • Evaluate and select the effectiveness of flood protection measures
  • Conduct sensitivity analysis
  • Use MATLAB domain-specifically
  • Apply LARSIM for flood forecasting
  • Implement theoretical concepts programmatically
