Description
This course is an introduction to the hydrological cycle and the processes of precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, runoff, and infiltration. Students will be able to describe the hydrologic cycle and understand the physical principles that govern groundwater and surface water hydrology. The course includes a laboratory component that allows students to gain field experience in measuring water levels in water wells, stream gauging, making indirect discharge measurements, and collect water-quality samples from sources of groundwater and surface water. Prerequisites: MATH1220 and ENGL1110. Offered: Spring.
