Numerical modelling of water resources

Keywords: Modélisation numérique, ressources en eau, changements globaux, hydrologie/hydrogéologie quantitatives
Prerequisites: No

The lecture starts with a remainder of the fundamentals of quantitative hydrology and hydrogeology. Then the lecture focuses on energy and contaminant transfer in hydrosystems. Finally, the study of anthropognenic effects over a large range of scales is developped.

The second part of the lecture consists in the study of real cases with numerical tools such as :

• Frequency domain analysis of large data sets,
• Physically-based modeling of hydrosystem
• Transfer of energy and dissolve matter (pollutants, carbon and nutrients)
• Inverse modeling, parameter identification
• Usage of model for water resources management submitted to global changes
