Course Information

Course ID: SW2008 No. Instruction Hours: 36 Course Description: This 4.5 day course will focus on the art and science of watershed modeling and is intended to help USGS personnel understand, analyze, and predict the hydrologic impacts of changes in land use or climate. Two watershed models, the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) and the Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF), will be used in hands-on exercises to illustrate modeling processes and approaches. THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE DATE IS JULY 21, 2006. All USGS employees must register at the following URL: https://gsvaresa08.er.usgs.gov/webforms/pertrain.nsf. If you have TMS questions please contact Melaine Hood, the TMS Project Lead, at mkhood@usgs.gov or Leigh Healy at lhealy@usgs.gov for assistance. OFAs and cooperators can contact Gloria Armstrong at gjarmstr@usgs.gov for assistance. OFAs and cooperators can access a course application at the following URL: http://training.usgs.gov/ntc/nonusgsreg.html. Course Title: Watershed Modeling I Workshop Attendees: Attendees should have an interest in projects assessing the hydrologic impacts of changes in land use, drainage systems & climate. Understanding of basic hydraulic and hydraulic processes will be helpful. The class will be limited to 18 students. Cooperators & non-USGS persons may attend on a space available bases. Course Discipline: Surface-Water Hydrology Courses Prerequisites: Pre-class work will include required participation in 3 Cyber Seminars and tutorial exercises associated with each seminar. These will be used to introduce data preparation, data management, basin delineation, model set up, and other pre- and post- processing. This course will be a prerequisite for Watershed Systems Modeling II, SW3018TC which will emphasize model calibration using data provided and developed by trainees. Although not required, this course should be taken before River Basin Water Quality Modeling, ID2146TC.
