Urban Hydrology |
In this course we will investigate the science and management of water in cities and built environments. We will approach the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating hydrology, geology, biology, architecture/engineering, and the social sciences. As an advanced hydrology class we will work on building skills in hydrologic data analysis. We will analyze real, complex data sets from Cleveland and elsewhere and we will read and discuss journal articles focused on water problems and solutions in cities. |
