🌫️ Master the Art of Water with "Basic Hydrology: Creating Hydrologic Models of Small Watersheds for Conservation bmps, Leveraging the Power of GIS" 🌊

Are you a soil and water district technician or a junior engineer eager to delve into the intricate world of hydrology? Do you want to master the skills needed to model small watersheds for conservation and stormwater management? This is the course for you!

Course Overview:

In this comprehensive online course, you'll learn the fundamentals of creating hydrologic models using three key hydrological models: EFH2, TR-20/TR-55, and the Rational Method. You'll discover how to apply these models within a conservation context, utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a powerful tool for analysis and design.

What You'll Learn:

• 🔍 Understanding Basic Hydrology: Gain insights into the principles of water flow, watershed dynamics, and stormwater management.

• 💻 GIS Mastery: Develop expertise in using both ArcGIS (Spatial Analyst extension) and QGIS for hydrological modeling, ensuring you're well-versed in multiple platforms.

• 🛣️ Software Proficiency: Learn to apply the EFH2 software for rural watershed modeling and HydroCAD (Free Sampler edition) for urban project planning.

• 📊 Real-World Application: Engage with two detailed design examples that will bring your theoretical knowledge to life, allowing you to apply what you've learned in practical scenarios.

Course Content Breakdown:

• Hydrological Models Explained: We'll cover the principles and applications of EFH2, TR-20/TR-55, and the Rational Method.

• GIS for Hydrology: You'll learn parallel workflows in ArcGIS with Spatial Analyst and QGIS, enhancing your ability to handle spatial data and analyze hydrological features.

• Software Tools and Techniques: Discover the nuances of using EFH2 for rural hydrology and HydroCAD for urban project analysis.

• Practical Design Examples: Two case studies will provide you with hands-on experience in applying your newfound skills to real-world conservation bmps (best management practices).
