This course addresses the development of computational models of watershed hydrology in support of water resources management and scientific investigation. The full model development and application cycle is considered: pre-processing, understanding, and generating input forcing data; system discretization and algorithms for simulating hydrologic processes; parameter estimation; and interpreting model output in the context of often significant system uncertainty.
Join three of our Water Institute members at the Waterloo Region Museum for a special presentation and roundtable discussion about climate change in the Region of Waterloo and across the globe.
As the world scrambles to adapt to extreme weather, one researcher looks deeper into what’s working, what’s not, and how we can better plan for sustainable urban futures.
Water Institute member Daniel Scott see tourism as both a victim of – and contributor to – climate change.
