Course Description		Precipitation producing mechanisms, temporal and special distribution of precipitation, annual average precipitation, probable maximum precipitation, snow, snowmelt, evaporation, evapotranspiration, meteorological drought, basin characteristics, basin models, rainfall-runoff models, floods, water losses in a basin, hydrologic drought, hydrograph analysis, analysis of hydrometeorological data, applications.
Course Outcomes		On completing this course students should : I. To able to increase knowledge and understanding of the interaction between meteorology and hydrology in watersheds, to be able to define the key features of Hydrometeorology and the Hydrologic Cycle. II. To be able to identify the components of the Hydrologic Cycle, III. To be able to formulate the basic concept of the Accounting Budget Approach for Hydrometeorology IV. To be able to identify the basin characteristics. V. To be able to describe key processes in atmospheric water include condensation, precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration. VI. To be able to describe that precipitation is the most important factor controlling the local hydrologic cycle and to able to calculate the temporal and special distribution of precipitation. VII. To be able to define rainfall runoff to identify the general movement of water both on the surface and in the ground and to able to recognize the different terms associated with groundwater and runoff. VIII. To be able to describe the relationship between precipitation/snowmelt rate and infiltration. IX. To be able to select and utilize simple equations of meteorological and hydrological drought. X. 10. To able to describe why we need unit hydrographs for flood analysis, to describe how unit hydrograph theory is used as a tool in forecasting runoff and define some of the basic components of a unit hydrograph.
