What will I learn?
This course equips you with essential skills to assess watersheds, calculate water balances, and analyze flow patterns including extremes. You'll interpret rainfall, runoff, baseflow, and groundwater recharge from real data using straightforward techniques. Additionally, examine water quality factors, pollutant loads, and land-use effects, then apply insights to produce effective reports and actionable management strategies.
