Learning outcomes |
This Course Unit intends to provide students with the knowledge required for hydrologic design, in the areas of surface water, stormwater urban drainage and water management. It is intended that students develop skills of independent learning and critical thinking, analysis and synthesis, group work, focusing on the practical application of theoretical knowledge to solve problems. At the end of the course the student should be able to:
(a) Have knowledge and understanding of the concepts related with the hydrological phenomena and management of water resources
(b) Characterise watersheds and their water availability
(c) Characterise and evaluate floods, including estimation of intense rainfall and flood peak discharges and respective hydrographs.
(d) Design stormwater urban drainage systems.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This one semester Course Unit involves 60 hours of scheduled contact activities organised in theoretical classes (30 T: presentation of syllabus supported by documentation related to practical situations) and practical classes (30 PL: where students, working in groups, perform the practical work, and may include a field trip). The drawing up of the reports is part of the autonomous work.
In the evaluation are considered written tests (E) and practical work carried out in PL classes, with submission and
defense of reports (TR). Continuous assessment includes two tests and practical work. The final exam includes an exam and practical work, for admitted students.
