A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Hydrology fundamentals

Hydrology fundamentals cover the basic concepts of the water cycle, fluxes, and the water balance that underpin all water resource studies. Mastering these ideas is essential because exam questions often ask for the relationships between precipitation, evaporation, runoff, and groundwater, as well as the application of the water balance equation to real‑world scenarios.
