What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to analyse watersheds, calculate water balances, and grasp flow patterns and extreme events. Master interpreting rainfall, runoff, baseflow, and groundwater recharge from real data using straightforward techniques. Investigate water quality issues, pollutant sources, and land-use effects, then apply insights to produce effective reports and feasible management plans.
