ESCI 1220 Hydrology

This course focuses on the conceptual understanding of hydrologic processes, aquifer and ground water systems, design and analysis of pipe and pump systems, knowledge of open channel flow analysis, instrumentation and measurements of flow properties, and applications of computer software for hydraulic system design.  The physics of pipeline systems and pumps such as hydrostatic forces, hydrodynamics, conservation of mass and energy, and friction are discussed.
