Hydrology 2

Hydrology

DEFINITION:	Hydrology is a study of the waters of the earth, their distribution, characteristics and effects.
OBJECTIVE:	To increase knowledge on the application of hydrology, fluid mechanics, computer and engineering principles to water resources problems. The economics and engineering of systems for design, control, utilization of water resources is stressed. Specific attention is given to comprehensive water designs and stormwater management.
FACULTY:	Mr. Jeff Earhart, P.E.
