Teaching Kits for Surface Hydrology Training Using Open-Source Software for Optimal Management and Decision-Making in Environmental Sector Organisations and Companies<\/h1>\n

This project involves, on the one hand, the development of teaching packages. These packages consist of a software tool together with a methodological guide for training in flood risk studies related to environmental engineering. On the other hand, training in this field, combined with appropriate management practices, will help improve the resilience of internal processes within companies in the environmental sector.<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n\n\n\n

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION<\/h3>\n
\n

To address these issues, a training project has been developed consisting of a methodological guide together with a software tool.<\/p>\n

As an example, the following section presents software for a range of flood risk studies. This example can be extrapolated to other applications in the environmental sector (irrigation ponds, reservoirs, bridges, roads, hydraulic structures, among others).<\/p>\n

Software description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The software is IBER, an open-source programme developed by the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and the University of A Coru\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

TEACHING PROGRAMME METHODOLOGICAL GUIDE<\/p>\n

Module 1: Current Legislation and Delimitation of Public Watercourses.<\/p>\n

Module 2: Delimitation of Drainage Basins.<\/p>\n

Module 3: Morphological Characterisation and Concentration Times.<\/p>\n

Module 4: Hydrological Characterisation. Land Use Databases and Determination of the Curve Number.<\/p>\n

Module 5: Rainfall. Data Analysis and Estimation of Rainfall for Different Return Periods.<\/p>\n

Module 6: Temporal Distribution of Rainfall. Hyetographs.<\/p>\n

Module 7: Determination of Maximum Flood Discharges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS<\/h3>\n
\n

We offer the kit to educational centres (primary and secondary schools, as well as research and teaching centres related to engineering and agronomy), with the aim of validating the software and producing reports.<\/p>\n

Once the data have been obtained, they can be used by organisations and companies in the environmental sector to improve their production processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
