{"ModuleCode":"CE5310","ModuleTitle":"Hydroinformatics","Department":"Civil & Environmental Engineering","ModuleDescription":"Hydroinformatics is concerned with the development and application of mathematical modelling and advanced information technology tools to hydraulics, hydrological and environmental problems of urban, inland and coastal waters. On the technical side, in addition to computational hydraulics, hydroinformatics has a strong interest in the use of techniques originating in data-driven techniques, such as artificial neural networks, support vector machines and evolutionary programming.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"3-0-0-2-5","ExamDuration":"P2H30M","ExamVenue":"E1-06-05/06","AcadYear":"2014/2015","History":[{"Semester":1,"ExamDate":"2014-11-25T09:00+0800","Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Lecture","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Tuesday","StartTime":"1800","EndTime":"2100","Venue":"E4-04-03"}],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"56a1936b-358b-4d89-b44a-a04e4d225d03","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"CE5310","CourseName":"HYDROINFORMATICS","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 1","CourseAcadYear":"2014/2015","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1407427200000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2014-08-08T00:00:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1417881540000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2014-12-06T23:59:00","CourseMC":"0","isActive":"N","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Vladan Babovic","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"1b1ce99c-b1ea-4c65-80ab-574a96bf1721","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":true,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":false,"hasClassRosterItems":false,"hasWeblinkItems":true,"hasLecturerItems":true,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":true,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":false,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[{"ID":"545cb082-9456-4386-a9cf-a47a997695bd","URL":"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroinformatics","Description":"","Order":1,"Rating":0,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"dedd51fb-2027-4602-9c8b-399d0d4bcbaa","URL":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq-UjAZpoWo","Description":"Video from USGS National Hydrography Dateset (example of use of GIS)","Order":2,"Rating":0,"SiteType":null}],"Lecturers":[{"ID":"5d2c476c-9330-48a9-825d-9b35b6c80d2b","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Vladan Babovic","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"1b1ce99c-b1ea-4c65-80ab-574a96bf1721","AccountType":null},"Role":"Lecturer ","Order":1,"ConsultHrs":null},{"ID":"c88ca2e4-d053-4013-98b4-1b31bf6ded85","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Wu Wei","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"2e1c9627-e785-42b6-9e9b-2b91caf87bce","AccountType":null},"Role":"Co-Lecturer ","Order":2,"ConsultHrs":null},{"ID":"0180eca2-0e68-4292-b180-491030ec845f","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Joost Buurman","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"99b61ff1-216f-4df9-991d-5b9dbfbc188c","AccountType":null},"Role":"Co-Lecturer ","Order":3,"ConsultHrs":null},{"ID":"9fa27a13-7c5b-4405-b692-84d48bc0f5af","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Ooi Seng Keat","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"284409e6-4fb7-4e2a-81cb-960f5e227d35","AccountType":null},"Role":"Co-Lecturer ","Order":4,"ConsultHrs":null},{"ID":"3f1bada1-8f7d-4867-bfe5-ad53c7e62511","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Shanti Dewi, Cecilia","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"7c79c343-457c-44c7-985c-4304ec8bb324","AccountType":null},"Role":"Coordinator ","Order":5,"ConsultHrs":null},{"ID":"83381767-7c8c-477a-b4fe-08c9c7bdf87e","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"ALI MESHGI","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"f5d90a31-7304-4e3f-aeca-02934e181160","AccountType":null},"Role":"Teaching Assistant ","Order":6,"ConsultHrs":null}],"Descriptions":[{"ID":"1e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Learning Outcomes","Description":"Hydroinformatics - Modelling and Information Systems for Water Management is the study of the flow of information related to the flow of water (and all that it transports) and the interaction between natural and artificial(i.e. man-made) environments. It involves mathematical modelling and advanced information technology tools, and their application to hydraulic, hydrological and environmental problems of urban, inland and coastal waters. Hydroinformatics concerns the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and modelling, and their application for resolving water-related problems in civil engineering, and information systems for integrated water management.

\n\tAs a consequence, hydroinformatics concentrates on the computer-based, decision-support systems that are revolutionising traditional planning, design and decision-making methodologies in river basin and flood management, urban water and environment. Specifically, hydroinformatics deals with the dynamics of information flow through the value chain of “data - models - knowledge - decisions - impacts”.
