Credits: 3

Principles and processes affecting hydrologic cycles of forested watersheds: precipitation, interception, infiltration, evapotranspiration, groundwater and stream flow. Major emphasis on how hydrologic processes affect watershed management of forest and other terrestrial ecosystems, and how watershed management affects water yield and quality. Floods, soil erosion, and water pollution will be emphasized as special problems.
