e. Profile of the course The course is developed in particular for 2nd year students of BSc‐programme Soil, Water, Atmosphere (BBW). The course can also be beneficial for 3rd year BSc and 1st year MSc students of the following programmes: (i) Earth and Environment (MEE), (ii) Forst and Nature Conservation (BBN, MFN), (iii) International Land and Water Management (BIL, MIL), (iv) Environmental Sciences (BMW, MES), (v) Landscape Architecture and Planning (BLP, MLP) and (vi) Climate Studies (MCL)
The Field Practical Hydrology, Water Quality and Meteorology helps you: (i) to apply common field techniques and mathematical and computational methods, (ii) to use common software to process field data, (iii) to understand hydrological and meteorological processes at catchment scale.
f. Learning outcomes After successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to: ‐ recognize, understand, analyse and describe the hydrological system (surface water, groundwater, soil water and atmosphere) of catchments on various scales; ‐ understand hydrological processes in surface water, ground water, soil water and atmosphere; ‐ evaluate and describe the hydrological system; ‐ analyse and describe the relationship between water quantity and quality of some small hydrological basins; ‐ design observational networks for meteorological/hydrological water quality measurements in catchments; ‐ measure and interpret hydro(meteoro)logical and water quality data from catchments to calculate and to assess water and nutrient balances; ‐ calculate physical catchment properties and apply hydrological and meteorological modeling tools; ‐ evaluate catchment characteristics.

g. Learning materials and resources Field Practical Manual, Powerpoint presentations, handouts, computer programmes, information on Eduweb and Blackboard.
h. Educational (= teaching and learning) activities The course includes the following educational activities: (i) lectures, (ii) observational network practical, (iii) field excursion Berkel, (iv) field excursion Water Board, (v) field practical, (vi) data processing and interpretation practical, (vii) poster practical. Annex 1 shows the relation between the educational activities and the learning outcomes. Lectures: during the lectures principles of water flow (groundwater and surface water), water quality and sediment transport, and meteorology will be presented and discussed. The presentations are supported by powerpoints. These powerpoints will be made available at EDUWEB. Observational network practical: you will work in small groups (3 – 4 students). At the first session each group will receive some publications of an observational network of a catchment, including a research question. You are supposed to draw up an observational network which meets the research question. During the second session you are supposed to draw up an observational network for the Hupselse Beek catchment, the area where the field practical will take place. Field excursion Berkel: During this field excursion water quantity and water quality aspects at the catchment scale of a relatively large brook/river in East Netherlands are shown and discussed. Special constructions, such as retention reservoirs and sand traps will be shown. Field excursion water Board: During this field excursion Water Board Rijn&IJssel will present how water management in the
Netherlands is organized, and the role of water boards in the management. State of the art activities will be shown and discussed. This will be done (a) indoor, supported by powerpoints, and (b) outdoor at locations where recent (brook) improvements activities took place. Field practical: you will carry out, as member of a small group of students, a number of measurements. These measurements are related to the self‐developed observational network. Also measurements on the physical properties of the catchment will be conducted. Data processing and interpretation practical: all data gathered during the field practical, and some additional data from literature will be processed and discussed, leading to an insight in the flow processes, water quality and meteorology in the Hupsel catchment (small scale catchment). Poster practical: you will work in the same small groups. All groups will receive an additional research question and – if needed – addition data. The results of this research should be presented on a scientific poster (according to the standard of international scientific conferences). In a poster session all groups should, in a conference poster session setting, discuss posters of other groups and present their own poster.
i. Examination The examination of the course consists of three parts: (i) presentation and discussion of the observational networks, (ii) preparation, presentation and defense of a scientific poster and (iii) written open exam. For the first element you have to obtain a GO, the poster will count for 30% of the final mark and the written exam counts for 70% of the final exam. The written open exam will consist of four separate disciplines: hydrology, hydrogeology, water quality and meteorology. For all disciplines a minimum of 4 (on the scale of 1‐10) should be obtained. The average mark for
Field Practical Hydrology, Water Quality and Meteorology (HWM‐23306) 4
the written exam should be at least 5.5 (on a scale of 1‐10). Annex 2 shows the relation between the examination and the learning outcomes.
j. The principal themes of the contents The course covers three general themes: (geo)hydrology, water quality and meteorology. The course starts (first segment) with an overview of the outline and schedule of the programme of the course. All in‐class, out‐of‐class and field activities will be explained. To illustrate the relation between the disciplines, short lectures summarize assumed knowledge and planned activities. We proceed with the design of an observational network for meteorological, hydrological and water quality measurements in catchments. The next topic is dimensioning discharge measurements structures in relation to discharge characteristics. Subsequently the geology and morphology of the eastern part of the Netherlands will be explained, as well as the theory and practice of modern hydrometeorological techniques. Then students will design an observational network for the small Hupsel Brook experimental catchment. Fieldwork (second segment) starts with an excursion to the largest catchment: The Berkel catchment. During this excursion the discharge (unit hydrograph) of the Berkel will be explained, in relation to the geology, morphology, meteorology and land use. Technical constructions, such as sand traps, fish passages, aquaducts, and draining channels will be shown. Water Authority Rijn & IJssel will show and explain recent activities, such as re‐meandering projects, constructing inundation reservoirs, water [urification plants. At the field practical, we create student groups of 3‐4 persons. All groups will have an own measurement plan with
groundwater level measurements, discharge measurements and meteorological measurements. Furthermore measurements will be done on the transmissivity of river sediments (pumping test), infiltration/discharge of streams (potential needle), seepage measurements (seepage meter), hydraulic conductivity of aeolian and river sediments, discharge measurements, evapotranspiration measurements (Penman Monteith, Eddy Correlation), water quality and geo‐electrical measurements. At the third segment of the field practical the field data will be processed, combined and evaluated. At the fourth and last segment each student group will get an additional research question. Additional information has to be found in data‐sets and literature, in order to answer this question. Finally the student groups have to construct a scientific poster which combines the general research and additional research question. At a session, which mimics a scientific poster presentation at a scientific conference, all students have to question posters of others and explain the result of their own poster.
