| Zusammenfassung |
| The department of hydrology and water resources management is part of
the Ecology Center of Kiel University, an interdisciplinary research
organization. We teach hydrology for geographers, biologists,
agricultural engineers and ecologists. Hydrological modeling is part of
the curriculum since 1988. It has moved from the subject for specialists
to a basic component of all hydrological courses.
During the first year, we focussed on in-depth teaching of theory and
practice of one big model, but the students found it hard to follow and
beyond practical problems. During the last years we switched
to a broader, but more shallow policy. Modeling is now part of nearly
all courses, but remains limited to mostly 2-4 days of teaching. We now
present only very basic theory and leave it to the students to discover
the details during the practical work with pre-installed data sets.
The poster shows how the models SWAT, Hydrus, Coupmodel, SIMPEL and
PC-Raster are embedded in the hydrological curriculum and what kind of problems we experienced in teaching. |
