Long Title: | Spatial Hydrology - ArcView GIS |
|
| |
Course Description: | Provides an introduction to the synthesis of GIS and hydrology, a subject called spatial hydrology. In this course you will study hydrology from a GIS perspective, developing new ideas and problem-solving methods in hydrology using the spatial data and functions provided by GIS. You will also learn to present GIS data in a form that supports conventional hydrologic analysis methods. |
