Plants store 786 km³ water and cycle it back to the atmosphere in 5–18 days. New study reveals their critical role in the ...

Use knowledge of the hydrological cycle to explain specific flood events, with reference to maps and hydrographs.

The Hydrologic Cycle is quite complex, with many moisture paths; however, in this project we are only concerned with a small portion of the entire cycle. In a simplified hydrologic model, rainfall (or ...

Use the key terms featured in a river basin case study. Consider the effect of seasonal differences in rainfall and relate this to changes in river levels and risk of flooding. Students could ...

Fundamental questions of forests' effect on the hydrologic cycle remain unanswered: At what depth do trees access soil moisture? To what extent does transpiration affect streamflow? Why do some ...

The hydrological cycle is expected to accelerate as temperatures rise and the capacity of the air to carry moisture increases. Observational evidence for such acceleration is largely based on ...

The course studies engineering applications of principles of hydrology, including hydrologic cycle, rainfall and runoff, groundwater, storm frequency and duration studies, stream hydrography, flood ...
