Hydrology

Catalog description

Students in the course will study the hydrologic cycle and relevant atmospheric processes, water and energy balance, radiation, precipitation formation, infiltration, evaporation, vegetation transpiration, groundwater flow, storm runoff, and flood processes. Students will also study the collection, compilation, and interpretation of data for quantification of the components of the hydrologic cycle, including precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, and runoff. They will use hydrologic variables and parameters for development, construction, and application of analytical models for selected problems in hydrology and water resources.
