Hydrology

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to the principles that govern precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, runoff generation, flow, and geochemistry in freshwater environments. The course focuses on the characteristics of surface water and groundwater, with an emphasis on the connection between these systems as well as their temporal and spatial variability. Basic equations of flow and transport will be covered. The course overviews anthropogenic impacts on freshwater environments and efforts to remediate damaged systems.
