Outcome

Utilize Excel to compile data, use appropriate functions, and develop figures for analysis.

Outcome

Integrate streamflow and precipitation data to interpret flow patterns between multiple water years.

Outcome

Develop a watershed boundary and identify drainage paths using the principles of delineation coupled with contour maps and mapping software.

Outcome

Employ the continuity principle in basic flow calculations.

Outcome

Utilize physical models of surface and groundwater to observe, describe, and predict hydrological processes.

Outcome

Observe and describe quantitatively/qualitatively hydrologic features seen around campus and throughout the community.

Outcome

Construct a potentiometric surface map and utilize the map to identify flow paths and connections between groundwater and surface water.
