HydroEurope project: open educational resources on flash flood modelling for 6 European catchment case studies
HydroEurope is an Erasmus cooperative partnership project of 6 European universities dealing with flash flood modelling teaching material for six catchment case studies in Europe as open educational resources. Initiated by several flash floods in 2021, the HydroEurope partners identified relevant gaps in their local course programmes related to flash floods. To overcome this gap, six case studies were selected to develop teaching units on the topics: uncertainties in hydrological and hydraulic modelling for flash floods, climate change impact to flash floods and accidental water pollution due to flash floods on a European scale. These teaching units were evaluated in training courses with 319 students and 18 teachers in total and are available as open educational resources. This material is a valuable extension in hydroinformatics education for the challenge of flash flood modelling and management tasks using real case studies as pre-professional training for students in Europe.
