ENVR 365 - Hydrology

3 Credit(s)

As the human population continues to grow the worlds fresh water resources become more important to develop and protect. Fresh water is all connected through the hydrologic cycle, and this course covers the physical aspects and mathematical analysis of each part of the hydrologic cycle. Emphasis is placed on analyzing the hydrologic cycle to support scientific and engineering development of the resource. Select computer models and geographic information system technology are introduced that analyzes rainfall-runoff relationships, large-scale watershed characteristics, surface water flow, and ground water flow. The integration of hydrology and computerized modeling are also studied to support research projects in the hydrologic sciences.
