Small Watershed Hydrology

Catalog description

Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours. Apply geographic information systems (GIS) to delineate watersheds and perform spatial analysis as an introduction to hydrologic studies. Study and apply traditional methods for quantifying components of the hydrologic cycle, including precipitation, evaporation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, percolation, runoff and streamflow. Analyze hydrologic data using statistical and computational techniques to support engineering design applications. Conduct literature reviews, formulate research questions and apply advanced analytical or modeling approaches to address complex hydrologic problems. Prerequisites: Graduate classification.
