Introduction to Land Use Land Cover (LULC) Maps

Graduate course, Tribhuvan University, College of Applied Sciences-Nepal , Hydrology Department, 2024

The terms land use and land cover are often used interchangeably, but each has its own distinct meaning. Land cover refers to the physical material found on the Earth’s surface, such as vegetation, urban infrastructure, water bodies, and bare soil. Identifying land cover forms the foundation for activities like thematic mapping and change detection analysis. On the other hand, land use refers to the purpose or function of the land, such as agriculture, wildlife habitat, recreation, or urban development.

A Comprehensive Overview of Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM)

Graduate course, Tribhuvan University, College of Applied Sciences-Nepal , Hydrology Department, 2024

¹ As greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise, General Circulation Models (GCMs) predict significant changes in climate on global and regional scales. However, these models leave an important question unanswered: How will climate change impact specific locations? Addressing this uncertainty requires a technique known as downscaling—a process that transforms the broad insights provided by GCMs into actionable, localized data.

Hydraulic Modelling using HEC-RAS Introductory Class

Graduate course, Tribhuvan University, College of Applied Sciences-Nepal , Hydrology Department, 2024

HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System) is a powerful modeling software developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is widely used for simulating water flow in natural and constructed channels, performing floodplain mapping, and analyzing hydraulic structures. With its capabilities to model steady and unsteady flow, sediment transport, and water quality, HEC-RAS supports comprehensive river system analysis and decision-making for flood risk management, infrastructure design, and environmental conservation.

FLOOD FREQUENCY ANALYSIS USING GUMBEL’S DISTRIBUTION METHOD

Graduate course, Tribhuvan University, College of Applied Sciences-Nepal , Hydrology Department, 2024

The Gumbel distribution, also referred to as the type-I generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution, is a statistical distribution widely used in hydrology, meteorology, and risk analysis. It models the probability of extreme events by focusing on the maximum (or minimum) values drawn from a set of observations or samples. These events often represent rare occurrences such as extreme rainfall, floods, heatwaves, or high winds.

Hydrological Modelling using HEC-HMS Introductory Class

Graduate course, Tribhuvan University, College of Applied Sciences-Nepal , Hydrology Department, 2024

HEC-HMS consists of several integral components that collectively enable comprehensive modeling and analysis:

Hydrological Modelling using HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS Introduction

Graduate course, Tribhuvan University, College of Applied Sciences-Nepal , Hydrology Department, 2024

Welcome to the first session on Hydrological Modeling! 🌊 This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to understand, simulate, and analyze hydrological processes effectively. In this session, we will explore the fundamental concepts of hydrological modeling, its applications in addressing real-world challenges, and its importance in managing water resources sustainably.
