Assessment criteria
The approval of the academic program implies exceeding a minimum of 70% of academic performance and attendance at 80% of the face-to-face classes.
Methodology
The course seeks to guide the student in strengthening theoretical and especially practical concepts on the solution of water flow variables in different conditions with the use of free cutting-edge software that is being used worldwide for the study and research of water resources . The use of the computational models HEC-HMS, EPA-SWMM and HEC-RAS is proposed; which will be briefly described below.
The HEC-HMS model ("Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System") was designed to simulate rainfall-runoff processes in water basin systems. It was developed by the Hydrological Engineering Center of the Engineers Corps of the United States Navy. The HEC-HMS is used in water availability studies, flow forecasts, future developments, flood damage reduction, etc. HEC-HMS
The model of urban hydrology SWMM ("Storm Water Management Model") was developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and allows to simulate the amount of water evacuated especially in urban drainages. The SWMM runoff or hydrological module works with the implementation of a series of basins in which rain falls and runoff is generated. The transport or hydraulic module of SWMM analyzes the path of these waters through a system composed of pipes, channels, storage devices, pumps and regulating elements.
The one-dimensional hydrodynamic model HEC-RAS is a program whose main function is the delineation of floodplains, that is to calculate the level of water in each cross section in the section of a river or artificial channel. In the current version, the flow can be permanent or non-permanent. In addition to calculating the water levels in each section, HEC-RAS has the capacity to calculate other hydraulic variables such as scour in the support elements of a bridge for the design of the foundation of the same, as well as the transport of sediments and pollutants HEC-RAS was developed by the Hydrological Engineering Center of the Engineers Corps of the United States Navy.
