Course Description

Introduces the practice of surface water hydrology as water plays a role in the development of most human activities. Various hydrologic processes will be described. Methods of development of intensity duration frequency curves, stream flow measurement methods, flood frequency analysis and risk assessment in hydrologic design will be discussed. A brief overview of groundwater flow will be provided. An introduction to soil erosion and soil conservation practices will also be provided. Various hydrologic and hydraulic modes used in the professional domain will be introduced.

Who Should Take This Course?

This course is for students seeking in-depth knowledge of how surface water impacts environmental management, reclamation, remediation, conservation, and sustainability. Aimed at individuals transitioning into the environmental field, as well as mid-level professionals in sectors involving environmental aspects, it will also be of value to agrologists, biologists, engineers, industrial managers, foresters, technologists, and others who wish to update their skills and knowledge in this area.

Learner Outcomes

By the end of this course, students should be able to:  Describe various hydrologic processes and the interrelationships between them. Describe methods of analysis of components of the hydrologic cycle. Develop problem-solving skills and analytical tools for hydrologic problems to such a degree that
recognizes the necessary steps involved and perform basic calculations. Relate to various measurement and modelling techniques for hydrologic variables and
understand the inherent variability and uncertainty in those parameters.
