This course surveys basic concepts of watershed management
from a geographic hydrology perspective. It covers concepts of
runoff generation such as infiltration, Hortonian vs. saturated overland
flow, shallow subsurface flows, and the variable source-area model. It
then covers water quality with an emphasis on soil erosion and sedimentation.
Flood hazards are covered including calculations of risk. Geographic
methods of spatially distributed modeling and spatial data management are
discussed throughout.
Grades will be determined separately for undergraduate
and graduate students.
