This course will introduce the concept of a watershed, covering general aspects such as surface water hydrology, groundwater, ecosystems, anthropogenic and meteorological influences. Large and small scale watersheds will be discussed, along with the interactions of sub-watersheds within larger systems. Extensive background information on the ecology, surface water flows, topography and meteorological information of the field site will be used to illustrate these watershed aspects
