This course introduces the fundamental principles of hydrology and hydrogeology. Topics will include the hydrological cycle component processes of evapotranspiration, infiltration, streamflow and groundwater flow; water budgets for watersheds; surface water and groundwater interaction; Darcy's law calculations for groundwater flow rates; mapping groundwater flow direction; installation of domestic and monitoring groundwater wells; groundwater sampling and monitoring methods; chemistry of groundwater; quantitative tests for hydraulic properties of aquifers; sources of contaminants and the basics of the movement of contaminants through groundwater.

Prerequisites: Chemistry 101 and 2nd year standing required
