Advanced Watershed & Floodplain Modeling (000088)

Overview

Participants will learn: the role of the hydraulic engineer in Natural Resources Conservation Service; coordination with other disciplines; basic statistics; infiltration hydrographs (assume knowledge of Chapter 16 of NEH-4); effects of urbanization; computer programs (including TR-20; WSP-2, etc.); stage-area relationships; reservoir operation studies; annual yield studies; and use of stream gage data.

This course was formerly titled “Hydrology Level IV.”

Objectives

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• identify the duties of hydraulic engineers, water supply specialists and other engineers involved in water resource planning and the relationship of their jobs to other staff members
• route through complex channel systems and develop stage and area flooded relationships
• use regional analysis and calibration techniques to adequately model watershed hydrology
• calculate water yield from large drainage areas

Prerequisites

Engineering - Hydrology Training Series Modules 101-107, 111, 116, 201-203, 206A, and 206B

Duration

1 week

Target Audience

Hydraulic engineers with less than two years' experience, water supply specialists, and other engineers involved in water resource planning may attend. This course is not recommended for engineers with over five years’ experience in water resources.
