River Engineering

HE Module B2 consists of three units:

B2-1. Physics of River Systems (4EC), which focusses on the physics of river systems and their response to anthropogenic or natural change;

B2-2. River Functions and Management (6EC), which provides students with a broad knowledge on the wide range of purposes or functions of a river system (flood safety, navigation, freshwater availability, nature, etc) and stakeholders, as well as river interventions;

B2-3. Schematization and Modelling of River Problems (5EC), which teaches students how to schematize and simplify a river-related problem, formulate research questions and alternative solutions, assess the problem using appropriate tools (such as modelling and monitoring), propose a solution and mitigate unwanted impact.
