CLIMATE CHANGE AND FLOODING

The ACADEMY by DHI provides training courses and

packages that enable you to develop flexible and robust

strategies for adaptation to climate change and for

handling various scenarios. Thus, we provide training

relating to, for example, urban climate change, flooding of

rivers, flood forecasting and early warning, coastal

flooding and safe drinking water and planning. We also

provide training in using our software tools to improve your

activities related to flooding, thereby enabling you to

choose optimal solutions to complex problems.

The climate is changing and becoming more uncertain.

Some areas are bound to get wetter with more flooding and

other places to become drier with a serious need of water.

Early warning and forecasting of floods is vital for future

generations and crucial for efficient emergency response

and contingency action planning. Water quality in general

and the supply of safe drinking water in particular is deeply

affected by climate change and flooding. Flexible

management, tools and strategies are vital.

This two-day, hands-on course aims to teach you river flood modelling by integrating the 1D river model (MIKE HYDRO River) and 2D overland flow model (MIKE 21). The emphasis is on establishing a 2D overland flow model followed by coupling the 1D and 2D model components to simulate the fully integrated flow dynamics between main rivers and surrounding flood plain areas.

River and coastal flooding often occurs as results of river overflow, high rainfall intensity in the catchment area, dam/dike breach, ocean storm surge or as a combination of these phenomena. The risks of flooding are amplified by the expected effects of climate change.

MIKE FLOOD is a comprehensive modelling package covering all the major aspects of flood modelling and a tool for understanding river and coastal flooding, analysing scenarios and testing mitigation measures.

In this this one-day, thematic course we aim to provide you with an overview of integrated solutions available to allow you to address disaster risk management with respect to floods. How can you make a difference in preparing and subsequently manage floods.

Disasters are of concern for almost all countries and are growing in terms of people affected and economic losses. A majority of all disasters today are related to hydro-meteorological factors, with floods (inland and coastal) as the main factor causing disasters. A changing climate will increase the risks for many regions.

In recent years several floods have resulted in severe damage and health problems due to lack of timely and coordinated communication and lack of preparedness of local government and support services. The missing integration of knowledge and dissemination of information causes greater damage and hence costs.

COURSE TOPICS

In this one-day course you will learn to apply a methodology (using MIKE 21 FST) by which only the surface runoff of the excess part of the rainfall volume is modelled. This enables you to map large geographic areas with limited time and effort. The course includes a step-by-step review of the modelling approach - from initial DEM processing to result presentation as well as hands-on exercises.

Mapping the effects of extreme rain events can be time consuming and thereby costly if models of storm water systems for entire cities are to be established. In many cases, necessary information on the geometry of pipes and gullies is also unavailable. During an extreme rain event, only a limited portion of the rain volume is gathered by the existing storm water system or has time to infiltrate.

Floods caused by extreme rain events are an increasing problem for cities of all sizes world-wide. Densifying of urban developments and climate change are stress factors which increase the pressure to deal with the problems. Pluvial flooding and climate change are new topics on most city planners agendas.

COURSE TOPICS

Introduction to pluvial flooding

Overview of pluvial flood modelling tools and techniques - advantages and

disadvantages

Data need and their use

Processing and preparation of digital elevation model (DEM)

This two-day course gives you an introduction to different approaches to the modelling of various types of green infrastructure in MIKE URBAN and their effect on different types of storm events. In addition, you are also introduced to storm water quality and modelling thereof as well as storm water quality treatment options. The course encompasses all types of the green infrastructure practices on the local level thus including bio-retention cells, rain gardens, green roofs, infiltration trenches, permeable pavements, rain barrels and vegetative swales.

In recent years we have experienced increased focus on making cities water sustainable. Today many cities strive towards integrating the entire urban water cycle into the urban planning. In this way, environmental degradation is minimised and the aesthetic and recreational appeal of the cities improved. Concurrently, cities also need to adapt to a changing climate.

Cities and water utilities need to be able to quantify and document the effects of introducing green infrastructure, for instance in relation to climate change adaptation options, the improvement of water quality in recipients and rainwater harvesting in cities with water shortage.

COURSE TOPICS

Modelling of green solutions at screening level

Modelling the different elements of a green infrastructure at a detailed hydraulic

This one-day, hands-on course gives you a detailed insight into real time usage of rainfall information retrieved from LAWR (Local Area Weather Radar) radars. The aim is to enable you to understand the possibilities and limitations in using radar data to estimate rainfall intensities and to set up a data collection and transformation system for preparation of data for the modelling systems demonstrated using Excel.

Radar estimates of rainfall are based on an indirect measurement principle, where echoes of raindrop cross-sections in the sky are transformed to intensities at ground level. Since the echo of many small drops may correspond to the echo of fewer larger drops, the process includes adjusting the estimated rainfall intensities to intensities derived from rain-gauge measurements on ground the so-called Bias Adjustment.

COURSE TOPICS

Introduction to rainfall measurements

Introduction to the radar equation

This two-day course focuses on climate change and flooding with an emphasis on tools for analysing impacts of climate changes in urban areas. Thus, you learn about the practical application of flood management tools and their constraints, as well as how to develop flood risk assessments and maps. The course includes presentations, discussions and hands-on exercises in using the different software tools to support risk assessment.

City water planners and decision makers have to adapt to a changing climate. Climate change is expected to change the distribution of precipitation in both time and space. This will change the flood risk profile of all cities. Accordingly, cities and water utilities need to decide which adaptation measures to prioritise and implement.

Climate change assessment often requires integrated modelling of flooding. This is a combined result of local heavy rainfall, overtopping river or coastal flooding. Flood modelling and risk assessment based on software tools ranging from simple GIS analysis to coupled 1D-2D hydrodynamic modelling are important for decision makers in order to minimise the costs related to extreme flooding.

COURSE TOPICS

Global and regional climate change models and predictions of climate changes

Combined flood risks from sewers, rivers, lakes and the sea

Overview of flood modelling techniques

FLOOD TOOL BOX: presentation and practical use of various methods and tools to

assess the current and future flood risk of urban areas

In this two-day, thematic course we teach you how to develop coastal flood risk assessments and maps. The course focusses on the estimation of extreme marine events, as well as introduction to the practical application of flood management tools. The effect of climate change on coastal floods is also discussed. Modelling tools are introduced through examples and project cases. The course contains presentations and discussions, but hands-on exercises are not included.

Populations increase on the coasts all over the world, putting in danger a growing number of people facing the coastal flooding risk. Climate change further increases this risk.

Coastal flood risk assessment is vital for decision makers in order to monitor urbanization and to minimise the costs related to extreme flooding. This assessment requires integrated analysis of extreme sea conditions, overtopping, assessment of flow through breaches and over dikes, as well flood hazard mapping.

COURSE TOPICS

Overview of tools for coastal floods analysis

What to request and expect from a model

Assessment of extreme marine events :

- Definition of statistical water levels and wave heights from coastal models

- Use of joint probabilities

This three-day thematic course teaches you how to analyse, formulate, and implement water policies, plans and programmes using an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approach. The course focuses on tools to implement IWRM the enabling environment, institutional roles and management instruments. The aim of the course is to enhance your ability to undertake IWRM with special reference to catchment (watershed, river basin) management and ecosystems.

Within management instruments the emphasis is on the MIKE Powered by DHI modelling tools for building decision support systems (eg MIKE INFO, MIKE OPERATIONS, MIKE HYDRO). The requirements related to climate change, vulnerability and risk management are considered and international cases studies and lessons are drawn upon.

IWRM is a coordinated approach to land and water resources management at international (transboundary), national and at local scales. The global use of water for households, industries and irrigation is growing and to meet the needs there is a demand for better understanding of water resources and for sharing water more efficiently among different groups of users.

COURSE TOPICS

In this this three-day, thematic course we aim to enable you to address suitable holistic integrated catchment management. The course focusses on the challenges of surface water and groundwater resources management at catchment scale, as well as managing competing uses and environmental impacts. Catchment hydrology and its implications on water management is discussed. Decision support tools and modelling tools are introduced through examples and project cases. Hands-on exercises are not included.

Water resources are under increasing stress from growing populations, intensification of agriculture, and climate change.

Catchment management is vital to water use permitting, setting allocation limits, defining permissible loads and environmental impacts, and making water sharing strategies. To achieve holistic integrated catchment management, water managers and planners must address groundwater and surface water interaction as well as the impact of land use and climate change on water resources.

COURSE TOPICS

Specific water management targets and criteria

Water use, conflicts and resources

Understanding the catchment

Assessment and modelling tools

What to request and expect from a model

From data and models to decision variables

From planning to on-line

Examples from planning and on-line project cases

- conceptual model development

- integrated models

- decision support, scenarios and indicators


Water resource professionals including water managers, water resource

engineers, hydrologists, hydro-geologists and water resource modellers. It is

preferable, but no condition, that participants have previous experience with water

management, hydrology and models.

The aim of this four-day, thematic course is to introduce you to the basic principles of scale modelling and the methodologies involved. The main focus is on our wave generation and acquisition system Wave Synthesizer and wave analysis software within the MIKE Zero software.

Physical modelling is a recognised and well established technique for hydraulic studies. It bridges the gap between what can be simulated accurately using numerical models and the real world. It also facilitates the calibration of numerical models and increases confidence in future predictions.

When designing coastal, harbour and other marine structures it is a challenge to secure resilience against wind, water and storms as well as long-term stability. A number of hydraulic structures with water/structure/land interaction cannot be modelled numerically in a sufficient way manner. Accordingly, our physical laboratories provide test facilities.

COURSE TOPICS

Cases suitable for physical modelling

Scaling laws

Metocean design conditions including climate change scenarios

Wave generation and analysis

Choice of scale and scaling model and materials used

Stability testing of coastal structures in 2D and 3D

Modelling impact forces

Modelling vessel movements and mooring forces

Model tests execution and results documentation

Hands-on experience in designing and conducting coastal lab experiments


Professionals employed at physical modelling laboratories or engineers carrying

out supervision of model tests at physical modelling facilities for our clients.

Participants should preferably have a background in coastal, port or marine

engineering and management. Some experience in using results of physical

modelling is preferable but no condition.

This one-day course provides you with valuable insight into the rapidly evolving remote sensing technology based on dozens of earth observation satellites in orbit at the moment. You will learn how remote sensing information is becoming much more accessible and how it can easily be integrated into MIKE Powered by DHI or GIS software.

The lack of reliable data to calibrate and validate models is often a challenge, especially in ungauged catchments or remote parts of the world. This can often be overcome using remote sensing information input.

Satellite images provide valuable information across time and space, about flood events, oil spills, algae blooms, deforestation and other environmental issues. Satellites can be used to generate baseline conditions, up-to-date maps of land cover and urban development, and images can provide information about current conditions.

COURSE TOPICS

Introduction to remote sensing and digital image processing

Data types, sensors and satellites, data prices and availability

Data pre-processing (radiometric and geometric calibration)

Remote sensing of water resources

Remote sensing of urban environments

Remote sensing of coastal and marine environments

Image classification and change detection

Digital Elevation Models from satellite

Hands-on exercises accessing and using satellite images


Professionals in the fields of water resources, urban planning, coastal and marine

management, ecosystem modelling and environmental science. It is preferable

that participants have basic knowledge of GIS (Geographic Information Systems).
