GEO2205 HYDROLOGY

The course addresses seven major areas namely: Scope and importance of hydrology; The hydrological cycle and water resources development; Analysis of rainfall data; Characteristics of individual storms; Measures of transportation and evaporation processes; Soil water and its significance and hydrological processes and Models of sub-surface water flow measurement and drainage basin planning and measurement.
