HYDROCLIMATOLOGY FOR WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

CIVENGR 515

Course Description

Introduction to various strategies for integrating climate science into water resources, specifically addressing climatic influences on hydrologic variables, the prospects for prediction, and the implications on water management and development. Consider both space and time variability of hydrological processes in the context of sub-seasonal, seasonal, and climate change time-scales.
