Education

“The Chair of Hydrology and Water Resources Management was responsible for teaching Bachelor (BSc) and Master (MSc) courses of the Environmental Engineering (EE) and of the Civil Engineering (CE) curricula and for supervising BSc and MSc Theses as well as Master Projects in the Environmental Engineeringcurriculum.

Specifically, the Chair contributed

• to the water resources management core discipline of the BSc in EE with two courses, “Hydrology” and “Introduction to Water Resources Management”. Bachelor Project Works took place in the outdoor hydrological facilities of the Waldlabor and Bachelor Theses were offered in hydrological data analysis, modelling, and systems analysis.
• to the water resources management major of the MSc in EE with a broad selection of courses and a module in the Experimental and Computer Laboratory. MSc Projects and MSc Theses in advanced hydrological topics were offered in-house or with external/industry partners.

The Chair was also responsible for the Master ofAdvanced Studies (MAS) in Sustainable Water Resources, a one-year programme with regular MSc courses and devoted classes and seminars addressing sustainability in water use.

Finally, the Chair was also responsible for a research and education laboratory in environmental engineering (TiRiLab), in which students applied their skills in hydrodynamic modelling to practical river problems in Ticino.
