| THE CLASS OF HYDROLOGY IS AIMED TO DEVELOP AND DEEPEN THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED FOR THE CORRECT EVALUATION OF THE WATER RESOURCES AND OF THE HYDRAULIC RISK KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: FROM A GENERAL POINT OF VIEW OF THE CLASS IS AIMED TO PROVIDE THE KNOWLEDGE AND MASTERY OF THE BASIC AND ADVANCED PRINCIPLES OF HYDROLOGY ACQUIRED THROUGH THE STUDY AND UNDERSTANDING OF TEXTBOOKS AND SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS AS WELL AS FROM THE ANALYSIS OF CASE STUDIES FROM A SPECIFIC POINT OF VIEW THE CLASS IS AIMED TO PROVIDE THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS: - HYDROLOGIC CYCLE AND ITS PROCESSES - TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR HYDROLOGICAL MONITORING - WATER RESOURCES EVALUATION FOR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS - RISK ASSESSMENT ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: FROM A GENERAL POINT OF VIEW THE CLASS IS AIMED TO PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF HYDROLOGICAL PRINCIPLES IN ORDER TO SOLVE PROBLEMS WITHIN INNOVATIVE AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES AND TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT INNOVATIVE AND ORIGINAL APPROACHES FROM A SPECIFIC POINT OF VIEW THE CLASS IS AIMED TO PROVIDE THE SKILLS NEEDED TO: - ANALYZE HYDROLOGICAL TIME SERIES - CHARACTERIZE NATURAL RIVER BASINS - EVALUATE THE MAIN TERMS IN THE HYDROLOGICAL BALANCE OF A WATERSHED - EVALUATE THE HYDROLOGICAL EXTREMES WITH A PROBABILISTIC APPROACH JUDGEMENT: ABILITY TO COLLECT AND INTEGRATE KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO HYDROLOGY IN ORDER TO MANAGE THE COMPLEXITY AND THE CASE OF LIMITED INFORMATION IN ORDER TO ISSUE NOT ONLY TECHNICAL BUT ALSO SOCIAL AND ETHICAL JUDGMENTS RELATED TO THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE COMMUNICATION SKILLS: COMMUNICATE IN A CLEAR AND UNAMBIGUOUS WAY KNOWLEDGE, METHODS AND CONCLUSIONS ON ISSUES RELATED TO HYDROLOGY TO INTERLOCUTORS WITH SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND IDEAS, BASIC CONCEPTS AND SOLUTIONS TO NON-SPECIALISTS INTERLOCUTORS LEARNING SKILLS: LEARNING CAPABILITIES THAT ENABLE IT TO CONTINUE STUDYING MOSTLY IN A SELF - DIRECTED OR AUTONOMOUS AND PROPENSITY FOR INNOVATION. THE CLASS CONSISTS OF 60 HOURS OF WHICH APPROXIMATELY 48 ARE DEVOTED TO THE THEORY AND 12 TO EXERCISES. |

|---|---|
| PROJECT WORK PRESENTATON AND ORAL EXAM THE STUDENT WILL BE REQUIRED AT LEAST TO KNOW THE BASICS OF HYDROLOGY AS WELL AS TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE MATHEMATICAL MODELS USED IN THE PROJECT WORK. THE ABILITY OF USING THE CONCEPTS OF THE SUBJECT TO SOLVE NEW PROBLEMS WILL BE ALSO EVALUATED. FOR THE ‘CUM LAUDE’ GRADE, WILL BE CONSIDERED: QUALITY OF PRESENTATION ABILITY OF CROSS CORRELATION AMONG THE TOPICS OF THE CLASS AND OTHER SUBJECTS AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT. |
