09:15 - 10:45  

Green Infrastructure and Urban Water Quality

This course considers screening level assessments (cumulative impact) and detailed design of SuDS components, including treatment processes in such systems.

    Coastal Flood Analysis

    This course addresses risk assessment aspects of the growing issue of coastal flooding such as integrated analysis of extreme sea conditions, overtopping, assessment of flow through breaches and over dikes, as well flood hazard mapping and an introduction to the practical application of flood management tools, including models.

    Part 1

    Part 1 of this course introduces the complexities of the estuarine environment, where freshwater and seawater mixing leads to density-driven three-dimensional processes as well as the interaction of river and tidal flow environments.

    Catchment Driven Long-term Simulations & Infiltration

    This course covers advanced integrated catchment modelling techniques including long term simulations, rainfall dependent infiltration and two-way interaction between pipes in the ground and groundwater (leakage).

    Managed Realignment
    This course provides practical considerations for construction of models for managed realignment projects.  From ensuring scheme aims are addressed to appropriate mesh resolution and calibration, and including the importance of fine sediments in realignment schemes, the trainers’ own experiences will form the basis for the content of this course.

    Part 2

    Part 2 of this course outlines how careful consideration must be given to ensure use of appropriate modelling tools as estuarine dynamics and stratified flows need to be fully represented in any hydraulic model as well as the potential for wind-generated waves, transport of fine sediments and water quality.
