Water Systems: Exploration

HWM10303

Over deze cursus

This course introduces the occurrence, movement and quality of water over the land surface of the earth, in particular as it affects and sustains life. The course takes a geographical, mostly descriptive approach towards introducing the global hydrological cycle and water budget, hydrological processes in river catchments and groundwater, and the aquatic ecosystem. An important focus of the course is on the interdependencies between water quantity and quality in space and time.
