CIV ENG 798 / Uncertainty Analysis in Water Resources Engineering

3 unit(s)

Y. Guo

This course introduces a variety of methods that can be used for environmental and water resources decision-making under various kinds of uncertainties. Following a brief review of probability and statistics, the focus of the course is on selected uncertainty analysis methods that can be used to assess the statistical properties of system outputs as a function of its stochastic inputs and parameters. Example water resources engineering problems are used in introducing the various methods.
