| Course description |
| An introduction to the techniques and tools available for assessing water-related challenges globally. Following a brief introduction to global hydrological models we dive into the computation of indicators relevant for water scarcity, flood, and drought risks. Finally, we will look at existing online platforms providing such information. |
| Expected Learning |
| General concepts driving global hydrological models and what type of research can be conducted using them. How to derive indicators relevant for water scarcity, drought, and flood risk. |
