1 – Preliminary notions of optimisation; quadratic programming and genetic algorithms.
2 – Additional concepts on UH and IUH. Parameterization through quadratic programming and genetic algorithms.
3 – Application of UH and IUH to real case studies and exercise.
4 – Full Hydrological model for the analysis of water availability in a catchment. Parameterization through a genetic algorithm.
5 – Application of SIMDEUM to a real case study and exercise.
6 – system of random variables and applications to Hydrology.
7 – Multiple linear regression. Stochastic processes and hydrological applications.
Exercise.
8 – Concept of RISK.
9 – Models for estimating hazard.
10 – Models for evaluating exposition and vulnerability.
