EAS 34500 and EES XXXXX INTRODUCTION TO HYDROLOGY

Introduction to Hydrology treats the flow of water on and below the surface
of the Earth. It involves mainly water QUANTITY (as opposed to QUALITY)
and treats river flood forecasting and ground water flow to wells.
It also treats stream erosion, sediment transport, and soil deposition.
