Learn the fundamental principles of the hydrologic cycle and master the quantitative analysis of water movement through environmental systems in this comprehensive course. Explore the interconnected components of the water cycle including precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, runoff, and groundwater flow while developing skills to apply water budget equations and related mathematical models. Gain practical experience in assessing water distribution patterns and calculating water balance within various hydrologic systems, from local watersheds to regional basins. Master the techniques for analyzing how water moves between the atmosphere, land surface, soil, and groundwater reservoirs, and develop competency in using hydrologic equations to solve real-world water resource problems and environmental challenges.
