HYDROLOGY LAB EXERCISE MANUAL

The approach used here is to illustrate via low-tech exercises the principles that underlie high-tech approaches such as ARCGIS and canned black-box hydrologic programs.

The focus is exclusively on water QUANTITY. Water QUALITY is not treated.

The manual is not lavishly illustrated yet (22 OCT 2020). It will be soon.
