GEOL 300G - Applied Hydrology

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Geology

Description:

This course is about learning the concepts and physical principles of water flow, developing the techniques that can be used to solve hydrologic problems, and applying these skills to realistic water management situations. In practice, hydrologists have to quantify rates at which water is exchanged between the atmosphere, the ground, and the ocean, and this often involves manipulating data and solving sets of equations. Given this quantitative rigor, it's fairly easy to lose sight of the conceptual part of the problem once you enter into the realm of techniques. This course will give you a balanced view of hydrology- one that includes a description of the basic processes and a coherent presentation of the theories and techniques that are commonly used.
