Runoff from watersheds in the form of surface water and ground water has the potential to impact various other resources. One of the first steps taken in order to eliminate or mitigate those impacts would be to analyze the hydrologic condition of watersheds and address site specific conditions. Understanding the relationship of the various hydrologic factors of a watershed is essential to decrease the impacts of Stormwater runoff.

In this course, you will learn the steps required to analyze the hydrologic conditions of a watershed.

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Identification of factors needed to describe hydrologic conditions
  • Determine the relative importance scale ratings
  • Describe the recovery potential scale rating
  • Effects of temperature on hydrologic processes
  • Characteristics of soil types
  • Relationship between meteorology and surface runoff

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
