This course aims to give general knowledge and understanding of generalized techniques used in mathematical modelling of water systems to support the model calibration, the model validation, the parameter calibration, the model uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, etc. Also a discussion is given of different types of models and modelling procedures and on the linking of various types of models in integrated water and river basin management. The course consequently forms the technical glue between different water system related modelling courses. In addition the course focuses on techniques of decision support, and more specifically on how model results can be used on the basis of water management decisions. Finally, advanced modeling techniques will be discussed as well as water system optimization and control.
