Physical Hydrogeology is the study of groundwater - it is sometimes referred to as geohydrology or groundwater hydrology. Hydrogeology deals with how water gets into the ground (recharge), how it flows in the subsurface (through aquifers) and how groundwater interacts with the surrounding landscape, including rivers and lakes. The first part of this course teaches the fundamental concepts of a watershed as the unit of hydrological inquiry. Starting with the water and energy balance of a watershed in a particular climate, the course discusses how recharge water flows through saturated porous geologic media.
