Description

Integrated analysis of water, land, and ecology. GIS, spatial analysis, soils, hydro-meteorology, vegetation, catchment hydrology, catchment-level policy, systems analysis.

The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of integrated catchment analysis and management. The course emphasises the interdisciplinary nature of natural resources engineering problems by investigating physical and institutional components within the framework of hydrological catchments.

Learning Outcomes

At end of this course students are expected to:
a) Develop an in-depth understanding of  integrated catchment analysis and management
b) Understand spatial information analysis and its application in Natural Resources Engineering
c) Be able to use GIS tools for systems analysis, engineering problem solving, and modelling of natural systems
d) Understand the role of soils, water, topography, landcover, policy, and climate within a catchment

Assessment

Assessment Due Date Percentage 
Assignment - streamflow lab 3%
GIS portfolio 10%
Soils Lab report 5%
VIP Presentation 4%
final exam 35%
Modelling project 8%


1. You cannot pass this course unless you achieve a mark of at least 40% in each of the mid-semester test and the final exam. A student who narrowly fails to achieve 40% in either the test or exam, but who performs very well in the other, may be eligible for a pass in the course.

2. All assignments must be submitted by the due date. Late submissions will not be accepted. If a student is unable to complete and submit an assignment by the deadline due to personal circumstances beyond their control they should discuss this with the lecturer involved as soon as possible.

3. It is important to remember that copying another person’s work, and submitting that work as your own is plagiarism. This practice is unethical and may result in disciplinary action being taken against you. For assignments that are done in groups, it is important that all students in the group play an equal role in completing the assessment.

4. Students repeating the course must undertake all parts of the course.
