The Water Science Certificate offers students both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in hydrology. The program focuses on developing quantitative skills to analyze the water cycle, examining water's distribution and movement across key reservoirs: atmospheric vapor, surface flow, soil moisture, underground aquifers, and surface water bodies like lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Water sustains all life. Our daily existence and numerous activities rely on this vital resource. This program educates students about Earth's water systems - how we source, utilize, and often mismanage this precious commodity. Grasping water as a resource requires knowledge of its distribution, movement patterns, and the vulnerability of our water sources. From comprehending cloud formation and precipitation to understanding groundwater contamination risks, humanity must recognize and value all aspects of the water cycle to safeguard this essential resource.
Students gain expertise in hydrological systems along with practical skills in field equipment usage, data gathering, and hydrological research analysis.
