WATERSHED HYDROLOGY

Catalog description

(Slashed with ESCI 42065 and ESCI 72065 ) Watershed hydrology is the study of water movement, storage and transformation across landscapes. Course covers such basic questions like “Where does water go when it rains?” and “What pathways do water take to the stream channel?”. Students examine the processes of precipitation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, streamflow generation and streamflow and learn how they are measured; how to analyze the data; and how these hydrologic processes are regulated by landscape characteristics, human activities and climate dynamics.
