This two-day course is designed for anyone who requires an understanding of the management of river systems or the impact of developments in a river catchment. Sustainable catchment management relies on a robust understanding of rainfall runoff and hydraulic processes, of how variability in catchment characteristics can influence rates and volumes of runoff, and of the relationship between flow and water level at any location. The development of appropriate catchment management solutions is also dependent on the ability to correctly evaluate the impact of different options.

The lectures will guide students through the fundamental science, the most up-to-date supporting tools, and will demonstrate content and relevance through a series of worked examples. This course is suitable for anyone who requires an understanding of the key hydrological and hydraulic processes, and computational techniques. It is designed for recent graduates, consultants, local authority staff, conservation and fisheries officers, development control and flood defence officers, and for specialists from other disciplines involved in river and catchment management.

The standard delegate fee is £525.00 (excluding VAT at 20%), this includes all documentation, lunch and refreshments on both days, plus evening dinner on Day 1. For further details about the course and to book a place please visit http://events.hrwallingford.co.uk
