Course Description This course is an introductory hydrology course for students who are not attempting a science major. The content of the course complies with the core curriculum for introductory hydrology. In this course we will discuss the 5 main components of the hydrologic cycle (precipitation, infiltration, evapotranspiration, run-off, and groundwater storage) with an emphasis on groundwater processes, groundwater chemical quality, and water management. A few laboratory exercises will compliment the material studied in class by giving the student hands- on experience in collecting hydrological data in the field such as well water depth levels, and stream flow-rate. |
