About

Hydrologic and hydraulic modelling software packages are becoming increasingly powerful, with impressive abilities to run countless iterations and display realistic flood inundation scenarios; however, a basic understanding of the underlying concepts is key in correctly interpreting, applying and presenting results.

Working in collaboration with industry and academic experts the Australian Water School created the Hydrology and Hydraulics (H&H) Essentials training series, now available on-demand.

The H&H Essentials series kicks-off with 2 free webinars Froude, Dude! and From Courant to Saint Venant, where the equations are explored that are hidden inside the “black box” of most hydraulic modelling programs (head to our YouTube page to view these recordings https://youtu.be/hdnSk_DxyZY and https://youtu.be/FDDKsJ3MzDI).

After viewing the webinars, start your H&H Essentials Series, covering 8 individual intensive 3-hour courses. Each course in the series focuses on a key principle of hydrology and hydraulics.

Every course is hosted by experts in their field, who delve in-depth into the key topic, explaining best practice techniques and approaches covering theoretical background material and practical applications specifically catered to practitioners in the water sector.

Attendees are introduced to, and work on, practical examples and case-studies, allowing them to apply the knowledge from the series and learn, hands-on how to use various modelling software packages. Whether you conduct your rainfall-runoff and hydraulic modelling in HEC-HMS, MIKE, TUFLOW, HEC-RAS, FLOW3D or any other 1D, 2D, or 3D software, this course provides the background hydraulic knowledge to allow you to appropriately select input variables, troubleshoot, and interpret results. Courses include basic equations that are used to compute key parameters and results for comparison to numerical models.

Prerequisites

Because these courses are designed to cater for engineers and non-engineers alike, including those with no previous background in hydrology and hydraulics, there are no formal prerequisites; however, a range of pre-course background materials are provided designed to allow the course sessions to proceed at an appropriate pace. Our intention is to make the course series challenging but not overwhelming for all attendees, with each course being suitable for both beginners and experienced professionals seeking a refresher for the underlying concepts behind hydrologic and hydraulic modelling applications.

The course workshop materials assume an ability to perform basic calculations in Microsoft Excel or equivalent spreadsheet program; no other prior software knowledge is required. If you are unfamiliar with spreadsheet calculations, those with MS Excel should review the Excel Basics tutorial and the calculation functions here; or for those without Excel, please download Google Sheets and view the Google Sheets Basics tutorial and the calculations functions here.

Format

Each course consists of a 3-hour session with pre- and post-course materials delivered through sequential units via our customised learning platform.

Take sessions anytime, at your own pace, with unlimited course access for 4 months.

The courses include electronic copies of background material and workshop instructions, with pre-readings/videos and manuals available for ongoing learning.

What’s included within each of the 8 courses in the series:

3-hours of session recordings to view as many times as required,
Ability to ask questions to the presenters at any time through the learning platform,
PDF manual of the course available for ongoing use,
Workshop material for hands-on exercises, downloaded from the learning platform before starting the session recordings,
Pre-reading and viewing materials.

Requirements

A good internet connection.

To provide the best desired learning outcomes, set up in a quiet space with dual monitors (i.e. one screen with the on-demand recording and the other with the software/exercise that attendees can work on simultaneously).

Certification

On completion of the course attendees will be issued with a Certificate of Participation. Attendees earn CPD hours/points with professional organisations for at least 5 hours per course (therefore 40+ hours for the series).
