ENVM 652 - Watershed Management

Unit(s): 2

This course will consider managing watersheds primarily from a physical perspective; however, the regulatory and legal context will be discussed. We will examine water-related processes and how land use decisions and natural phenomena can affect basin hydrology, stream function, and related geomorphic. We will look at the potential application of ecosystem services quantification and also take a critical look at some of the more commonly used methods in stream and watershed restoration/management and visit sites where some of these techniques have been successfully applied.
