The Hydrology class 2025

The Hydrology 2025 Course will be 90% similar to last year's class, with only minor modifications. You can find details about the tools used and other relevant information in the  2023 Index (a quick 3-minute read).This page provides access to course materials, including slides, videos (both old and new), and other resources.

Hydrology is a fascinating field because water is essential for life and human activities. It is fundamentally the Physics of the Hydrological Cycle, yet it is deeply interconnected with biochemical processes and geology due to water's crucial role in ecosystems. Here a brief introduction from a National Geographics post.  A companion page is available for the laboratory exercises, where you can find all the necessary materials for hands-on practice.
