Introduction to Watershed and Floodplain Modeling
(000023)
Overview
This course enables participants to use NRCS
hydrologic criteria and procedures to correctly design soil and water
conservation measures. Emphasis is placed on hydrologic procedures and
concepts used in the design of earth dams and determining peak rates of
run-off and the effect of urbanization on the peak and volume of
run-off.
This course was formerly titled “Hydrology Level
III.”
Objectives
Upon completion of this training, participants will
be able to:
- correctly interpret hydrologic policy used in the
design of soil and water conservation
measures
- correctly use hydrologic criteria and procedures in
the design and installation of soil and water conservation
measures
- correctly use hydrologic criteria and procedures in
the design and installation of medium to large size structural measures
Prerequisites
Engineering Hydrology Training Series Modules
101-107, 111, 116, 201-203, 206A, and 206B
Duration
1 week
Target Audience
All engineers and very experienced technicians
involved in design of conservation measures on farms, ranches, watersheds,
and in urban areas may attend. This course is not recommended for
practicing hydraulic engineers. They should attend Advanced Watershed
& Floodplain Modeling within their first two years of involvement.
