Ran in 4 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

Mathematical models of watershed hydrology for estimation of streamflow and other water balance components. Pre- and post-processing of hydrometeorological data; quantitative description of hydrologic processes such as snowmelt, evaporation, and routing; assessment of model performance; parameterization, application, and calibration of models. Interpreting model assumptions, modelling choices, and uncertainty in natural and managed watersheds. Modern hydrologic modelling software will be used.

  • This course was updated in winter 2025. It used to be hydraulics (481) and hydrology by Bill, but now it's just hydrology and is run by Tolson. Raven is a bit awkward to get used to but is kinda neat once you figure it out. The winter 2025 version of this course felt like a trial run so it was a bit chaotic but hopefully that gets fixed in later terms. If you took cive/enve 100, the labs feel very similar to the 100 labs in the sense that there are a lot of students who don't know what they're doing and a not big enough teaching team running around the MML. I'd say it's a bit difficult but the structure of the course is a good change of pace from 3A enviro.

  • didn't get to do any hydraulics, should be an elective for people who like modelling.
