Content:
Basic concepts of physical and applied hydrology will be explained and methods of measuring hydrologic data will be discussed. Emphasis is placed on detailed analysis of the individual components of the hydrologic cycle. An introduction to engineering statistics for hydrologic problems is given and stochastic and deterministic methods of flood forecasting are presented.
Outline:
- Global systems and cycles
- Physical and chemical properties of water
- Water and water vapor in the atmosphere
- Components of the water cycle
- Precipitation
- Precipitation formation
- Precipitation evaluation
- Spatial and temporal variations of precipitation: Earth's climate zones, El Nino, global climate change
- Evaporation
- Evaporation
- Evapotranspiration
- Groundwater and aquifers
- Runoff
- Origin of runoff
- Measurement of runoff
- Introduction to statistical methods in hydrology
- Sampling, probability, distribution
- Statistical evaluation of flood events
