Quantitative and qualitative ground water resource problems also will be discussed. Emphasis will be on practical applications and basic computational skills. Fundamental techniques of gathering, organizing and presenting technical hydrologic information, both in written and verbal form. In conjunction, research of employment opportunities and the various job descriptions particular to the water resources career field will be conducted. Students will fill out various job application forms and resumes.
Emphasis is placed on computational techniques.
Emphasis given to basic computations, weather map analysis, forecasting and instrumentation techniques. Includes analyzing water level recorder charts, stage-discharge relationships and becoming familiar with basic computer processing of records. Geologic and drainage basin characteristics, along with man's influence through management activities, are looked at from their influence on the water quality, timing and quantity of flow. Ecologic characateristics are studied from a limnological viewpoint combining aspects of both water quality and biology. In addition, water quality field sampling and laboratory procedures are practiced.
