Syllabus
Learning Objectives
Description of global warming and the hydrological consequences into a river basin is presented to the student; river flows and water resources. Assess the effect of climate change due to green effect mechanism. Change in water resources and river flows over time and finally changes in water quality. A short introduction of drought assessment and management affected by the global warming effect is studied. Hydrological and meteorological droughts assess. Study of climate generators its utilities and difficulties

Teaching Methodology
The course consists of 1.2 hours per week of classroom activity (large size group) and 0.4 hours weekly with half the students (medium size group). The 1.2 hours in the large size groups are devoted to theoretical lectures, in which the teacher presents the basic concepts and topics of the subject, shows examples and solves exercises. The 0.4 hours in the medium size groups is devoted to solving practical problems with greater interaction with the students. The objective of these practical exercises is to consolidate the general and specific learning objectives. The rest of weekly hours devoted to laboratory practice. Support material in the form of a detailed teaching plan is provided using the virtual campus ATENEA: content, program of learning and assessment activities conducted and literature. Although most of the sessions will be given in the language indicated, sessions supported by other occasional guest experts may be held in other languages.
Grading Rules
The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
The evaluation tests consist of a part with questions about concepts associated with the learning objectives of the subject in terms of knowledge or understanding, and a complete exercise of application of drought connections.
Test Rules
It is a complete exercise of application of drought, using the R code and if necessary the QGIS.
Office Hours
Every day after dry class, or staying with the teacher to answer questions. Also telematic consultation previously scheduled.
