Introduction. Special topics on hydrologic processes (spatial integration of rainfall using geostatistical procedures, snow accumulation and melt, physical and conceptual approach of runoff components). Probabilistic approach of extreme hydrologic events (the generalised extreme value distribution and its application, modern parameter estimation methods, parametric models). Hydrologic simulation and forecasting, catchment models (stochastic simulation of hydrologic processes, linear and non-linear rainfall-runoff models, cascade models, water balance models, forecasting models). Hydrologic procedures of flood routing. Hydrologic design (risk, design criteria, implementation on reservoirs, flood protection works, other civil engineering related works). Special applications. Case studies.
