In this course, we will define, explain and correctly use terms and concepts of basic hydrologic processes including evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, infiltration, ground-water flow and surface runoff. We will understand the hydrologic cycle and the ways that humans impact hydrology including erosion, sedimentation, and contamination. We will solve basic hydrologic problems to estimate the magnitude and frequency of hydrologic events. We will learn methods to measure flow and discharge rates. Examples will be included from real environmental problems.
