Flood management is becoming more and more important to society, and flood modelling is seen as an integral part of flood management. Models are used for planning and design as well as for forecasting floods so that mitigating measures can be taken in time. Decision support systems (DSS) based on models are increasingly being used by engineers and scientists in flood management.

Learning objectives

Upon completion, the participant should be able to:

  • identify the cause of a flood;
  • identify the type of a flood;
  • simulate a type of flood;
  • interpret and evaluate the impacts of a flood;
  • prepare and advise/communicate on possible flood prevention and mitigation actions, including technical and ethical considerations.

Course structure

This online course is to be completed in 4 months at 8 study hours per week. The online learning environment is used for downloading training material and communication. Communication with fellow-students and course moderators can be posted on the 'Ask-the-trainer' page or on the discussion forum eliciting responses from fellow participants.
