The goal of this course includes work on improving scientific and technical competence of the participants, as well as work on developing the skills of scientific and technical communication in the field of civil engineering-hydraulic.

As a result, students will be able to conduct independent research in the field hydroinformatics of defining issues, through gathering information through search of the literature, the application of the chosen method , and in the end, create a written report that meets the standards of scientific journals.

Statistical analysis of the hydro-climatology. Spatial interpolation of climate data, analysis of the frequency of high water, rain frequency analysis, probabilistic hydrological forecasts, predictions using the state space, the predictability of the water quality parameters, the application of genetic algorithms, neural networks application, the use of covariation analysis, trend analysis and other changes in the hydrological and weather hydro-climatic series.

Interactive work with the students to the continuous monitoring of the level of student learning. Theoretical analysis and numerical modeling of the phenomenon covered by syllabus . Program requires preparation and defense of a term paper.
