ENGR 313 Hydrology
This three-credit course is an introduction to the fundamentals of hydrologic science. The components of the hydrologic cycle, including precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, groundwater, and surface water are studied. The need and methods for collecting basic data for the components are presented. The primary focus is to learn and understand how the components of the hydrologic cycle interact to produce surface runoff and streamflow. The purpose of the course is to present methods for solving typical engineering problems relating to water management and design considering both water scarcity and flooding.
