GEOG 476 — ENVIRONMENTAL HYDROLOGY
BA BA Geography and Rural Development · Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
The course is an application of the theories and concepts students were exposed to in the first semester course (GEOG 475). The focus of the course will be on the impact of hydrological processes on the environment. The course will highlight some phenomena and conservation measures necessary for the planning, design and operational phases of water management. Also to be considered are the anthropogenic dynamics on water resources: flood forecasting, routing and management, erosion and sediments yield and sedimentology, urban drainage, salt water intrusion and drought management. The techniques of assessing the physico-chemical parameters of water from the various sources will be examined. Wetland management and environmental ramifications of water resource projects will also be considered. Again, the application of appropriate models to water management would be explored with ample fieldwork (e.g. FAST; MODFLOW, CHILD etc).
