This course is an introduction to watersheds as hydrologic units. The Goal of this class is for students to gain an understanding of watershed dynamics, surface flow, and processes that impact water quality within a watershed. Students are introduced to the Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) system, the National Hydrologic Dataset, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), and basic watershed modeling techniques. Students will gain an understanding of watersheds as a management/regulatory unit. Surface water management regulations will be discussed. The laboratory experience will focus on statistical, GIS, and field techniques utilized for surface water analysis. Prerequisite Courses: Grade of C or better in MATH-113 or equivalent, and GEOL-190 or ENVS-210. 01/15/2020-05/06/2020 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 02:00PM - 02:50PM, Room to be Announced
