SOIL/LWS 515.001 Integrated Watershed Management (Online)
Watersheds are effective integrators of environmental processes; combining inherent conditions, the cumulative impacts of land use, and water management to determine the water flow and water quality conditions upon which humans and ecosystems depend.
Students will learn about water resource availability and variability,
land use impacts on water quality, cumulative effects, watershed assessments, and management strategies.

SOIL 516.001 Urban Watershed Management (Online)
This course presents a comprehensive approach to urban watershed management, and covers themes such as rainwater management, drinking water, waste water, riparian buffer zones and urban stream health, climate change adaptation,
and more. More than 50% of the global population now resides in cities and this number is expected to increase rapidly. This puts enormous pressure on water resources and without effective conservation and water reuse, many cities will face major water challenges.
