Course Purpose and Objectives |
The course aims to provide: (1) knowledge on the global water balance and hydrologic cycle; (2) understanding of hydrologic processes; (3) knowledge of field and laboratory methods and equipment for quantifying hydrologic processes; (4) the capacity to apply equations to describe and model hydrologic processes; (5) understanding of water quality characteristics. |

Learning Outcomes |
At the end of the course students should understand the distribution and movement of water around the globe, know how to measure and model hydrologic processes, be able to compute water and energy balances at plot, watershed and basin level. Students should have acquired knowledge on water quality aspects. |
