The EU "Hydrological/Hydraulic Modeling and Flood Risks" module offers a study of the phenomenon of flood genesis, flood propagation, and flooding. The module aims to enable students to acquire skills in hydrological and hydraulic modeling of processes at the watershed and river basin scales:
1) The production function aimed at separating rainwater runoff and infiltration;
2) The transfer function on slopes and via the hydrographic network, overflow, and flooding;
3) Construction of a project tree and synthetic hydrograph;
4) Applications of hydrological and hydraulic flood models.
The EU also includes a field day (acquisition of in situ data for hydrological/hydraulic modeling purposes, in situ flood risk analysis).
The tutorials focus on practical applications in watersheds and watercourses in France and abroad using spatialized hydrological flood models (e.g., ATHYS, MHYDAS) and hydraulic models (HEC-RAS, Diffuse Wave, Kinematic Wave, etc.): analysis of rainfall/runoff data, use of hydrological/hydraulic models, parameterization/calibration/validation of models, analysis of the impact of development scenarios (dikes, dams, etc.).

This EU addresses the concepts of mass and heat transfer in aquifers, as well as the characteristics of low-energy and high-energy geothermal energy.
The vulnerability of the underground resource will be assessed and, where appropriate, methods for protecting the aquifer from pollution will be evaluated. Various techniques for decontaminating aquifers will also be discussed, particularly through the solutions provided by digital simulation tools.
The principles of geothermal energy will also be discussed through examples of specific systems based on the three types of geothermal energy (from shallow to very deep, from low temperature to very high temperature).
