EEG 103 - Earth’s Freshwater: Introduction to Hydrologic System Science

FDR: SL
Credits: 4

Freshwater is a limited, yet vital resource that supports life on this planet. In this course, we will be learning about the availability and distribution of earth’s fresh water and its movement through the hydrological cycle. We will gain a scientific understanding of the different hydrologic subsystems — surface water, groundwater, atmospheric water, and their interconnectedness. We will examine the challenges associated with the quantity and quality of water available for human consumption, exploring how human influences can contribute to or mitigate these challenges.
