EnvE 320

Environmental Hydrology


Description

Introduction to concepts in hydrology and hydrogeology. Hydrology topics include precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, streamflow, and hydrograph analysis. Hydrogeology topics include infiltration, percolation, seepage, drainage, aquifer hydraulics, and urban runoff quality.
Prerequisite: CIV E 330;
Corequisite: CIV E 331.

Learning Outcomes

Identify primary environmental factors that govern large-scale hydrologic processes
Understand climatic regimes across the world and how are they related to the livelihood of people living in those climatic regimes
Apply engineering tools such as Intensity-Duration-Frequency curves to design storms of certain return period for sizing municipal infrastructure
Know primary forces that govern soil infiltration processes and how much water is expected to infiltrate to subsoil layers
Estimate pollution levels of our contaminated ground and surface water resources using key water quality variables such as BOD5 (5-Day Bio-oxygen Demand)
Understand our aquifer systems, and know how to estimate the amount and rate of water retrievable from aquifers
