This lecture covers the concepts of river hydraulics, waterway development, and modeling using the semi-distributed approach. Topics include the SOCONT model, hydraulic modeling, calibration of hydrological models, and the integration of snow data. The presentation emphasizes the division of basins into altitude bands, incorporation of hydraulic structures, and the calibration process. The instructor showcases the use of RS MINERVE software for modeling and forecasting in hydrology. Real-time data assimilation, operational monitoring, and risk management procedures are also discussed, highlighting the importance of accurate forecasting for flood protection and water resource management.
