2. Beneficiary Capacity building in the Use of Modelling Tools for Water Infrastructure Planning and Management
| Title: 2-Day – Modeling River Flow and Morphodynamics Workshop
In Collaboration with USGS, UMCSAWM, Hokkaido University
Number of Water Practitioners Trained (Direct Beneficiaries) – 38 Water Modelers Duration – 2 Days
Core Team Involved for Workshop Prof. Yasuyuki Shimizu Japan Hokkiado University Prof. Ichiro Kimura Japan Hokkiado University Dr. Tomoko Kyuka Japan Hokkiado University Dr. Jonathan Nelson USA United States Geological Survey (USGS) Dr. Duminda Perera Japan Dr. Lalith Rajapakse UMCSAWM, Sri Lanka
Course Brief: The workshop covered a broad spectrum of river modelling techniques within the International River Interface Cooperative public-domain modelling interface. The workshop covered almost all aspects starting with basic data input and stepping through the process of grid generation, model execution, visualization and verification. Participants were taught on how to effectively use the modelling approaches like, FaSTMECH, Nays2DH, NaysFlood and NaysCube |
