These are not full lecture notes, they are simply outlines or random phrases that I want to get out in class. Course Description Hydrology is an interdisciplinary earth science that is concerned with the movement and occurrence of water on earth.
Water is our most critical resource.
Thus hydrology is significant as both a science and engineering discipline. In this course we will investigate surface hydrologic phenomena including precipitation, evapotranspiration, streamflow, snow and snowmelt, and rainfall-runoff relations. We will study the processes that drive the hydrologic cycle, and apply analytical techniques to solve water resource problems that are important to both the earth scientist and engineer. Understand the interdisciplinary nature of hydrology, and the role that water plays in linking physical, biological, and atmospheric systems. Apply knowledge of physical processes to solving society's water resource problems.
