LEB5008 - Applied Hydrology

Credit hours

Instructor
Fernando Campos Mendonça
Marcos Vinicius Folegatti
Sergio Nascimento Duarte

Objective
To present basic concepts related to water dynamics in watersheds and geological water basins, from
physical characterization to water dynamics; to share knowledge about extreme events, especially
intense rainfall, maximum and minimum flows, and their importance in the design of structures for
controlling water flow, and the licensing processes for water use; to discuss aspects related to water
quality and Brazilian legislation on water resources; contribute to training students regarding the
integrated management of water resources, considering both quantitative and qualitative aspects.

Content
The course will follow a hybrid system, with 40% of face-to-face activities (Theoretical and practical classes, sessions to clarify doubts and discussion of concepts, and training exercises) and 60% of remote, online activities (recorded classes, support teaching materials, solving exercises and tests, and sessions for discussing and answering questions).
The online activity will last 2 hours/week. Classes will be synchronous (1/3 of the time) and asynchronous (2/3 of the time). The platform used for online activities includes Google Meet (online classes) and e-Disciplinas (Stoa - class materials).
To attend classes online, the student must have a computer with a camera and audio (microphone and speakers) in good working order.
The material available to students includes handouts, free software, recorded lessons, videos, and exercises.
The frequency control of activities will be done 1 day a week. In face-to-face activities, it will be from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. In non-presential activities, it will be done for 1.5 hours, in synchronous weekly classes. In the initial fortnight and the last fortnight of the semester, professors and students must be present at the University. The frequency control methods will be oral calling or attendance registration via Google Meet.
Active teaching methods will be used, namely: exercises done individually or in groups, and seminars.
The assessment includes weekly exercises (individual and group) and seminars (individual). The final average will be weighted considering the grades of the weekly exercises (Weight 2) and the grade of the seminar (Weight 1).
