ENV 714b/ENAS 646b () / 2021-2022

环境水文

学分:3.

2022年春季:时间和地点待定

地下水为地球上三分之一以上的人口解渴。它还支持世界40%的灌溉农业,同时使许多商品的生产使我们舒适和满足。地下水需求量很大,在一些地方,我们已经消耗了太多的地下水,导致河流消失,土地下沉,水井干涸。其他地方的地下水已经被污染所破坏,这些污染是采矿、鲁莽的农业实践和不受控制的工业过程的危险副作用。除非我们开始作出更好的决策,否则地下水资源的压力将进一步恶化,最终损害人类健康、粮食安全和生态系统。本课程介绍地下水资源智能管理所需的水文科学原理和方法。它是为医疗急救,医疗急救而设计的。,博士生寻求(i)了解控制地下水循环、可用性和质量的过程;应用环境专业人员所使用的水文模型来评估地下水资源问题;熟悉用于解释地下水问题中遇到的数据的方法; and (iv) sharpen analytical skills that have broad application to environmental science and management. Hydrology is a quantitative science, so students enrolled in ENV 714 should be comfortable with arithmetic and algebra and should have completed at least one semester of college calculus. Students use hydrologic simulation models during this course and may, depending on the level of interest, learn to develop simple computer models themselves. But previous experience with hydrologic models or computer programming is not assumed or needed to succeed in the course. There is very little content overlap between ENV 714 and other ENV courses, including ENV 724
