Water Measurement and Analysis Methods

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.

Get wet and muddy learning how to monitor and characterize water and soil management problems in the natural environment. This is a field-based lab course that integrates science and engineering technologies, using various measurement equipment and analytical techniques to quantify water flow and quality parameters in surface and subsurface environments. Measurement accuracy, water sampling quality assurance protocols, and interpretation of watershed contaminants are addressed.
