4HYD 332: Hydrological Modeling
Dear Students
Welcome to Hydrological Modelling (4HYD342) on Moodle!
This will be your main hub for lecture slides, supplementary reading, updates, and online activities. In addition to scheduled assignments and tests, we’ll also have occasional online quizzes—so be sure to check Moodle regularly.
This is a 160-credit module, which means you’re expected to spend around 160 hours over the semester engaging with the content. That includes lecture time, completing assignments, revising, and preparing for the exam. If you’re enrolled in four modules this semester, aim to spend about 15 hours a week on each. This time should be used for working through materials, revisiting concepts, making your own notes, and deepening your understanding through additional reading or practice.
In this module, we’ll focus on developing your ability to simulate, interpret, and apply hydrological models to real-world water systems—building both your theoretical understanding and technical skills.
Feel free to reach out if you need help—individually or in a group. Just remember to include your name, student number, and the module code (4HYD342) when you email me so I can respond quickly and effectively.
Looking forward to a productive and engaging semester with you all.
Best regards
Andrew Hall
