EAS E118 Sustainability in Water Resources
Undergraduate Course
Introduced in Spring, 2016
The term water resources refers to natural waters (vapor, liquid, or solid) that occur on the Earth and that are of potential use to humans. The Earth has over 1.4 billion cubic kilometers of water. However, 97% of this is saline seawater. A dependable supply of water is critical to sustaining life but this resource is increasingly at risk because of growing competition among domestic, industrial-commercial, agricultural, and environmental needs. Students will become conversant on the topic of water resources as well as develop an understanding of the key concepts in sustainability and systems thinking.
EAS E451 Principles of Hydrogeology
Undergraduate Major Course
Physical and chemical properties of water; chemical equilibria and stable isotopes in groundwaters; acid drainage, landfills, and agricultural pollution; Darcy’s Law, fluid potential, unsaturated flow; fluid and aquifer properties affecting groundwater flow; fluid mass-balance equation and its application; contaminant transport.
