Course Content (Syllabus)
The hydrologic cycle: components (precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, percolation and groundwater recharge, runoff and overland flow, interflow, groundwater flow), soil water balance equation. Precipitation: causes, site measurement and regional estimation. Evaporation and evapotranspiration from open water, soil and plants: measurement and estimation. Runoff and subsurface drainage: factors affecting runoff, runoff characteristics – the hydrograph, prediction of peak runoff rate. Infiltration and soil water processes: factors affecting water movement into and through soils, soil properties and its measurement, estimating infiltration rates. Snow: measurement, characteristics.
