Courses

Quantitative hydrology, precipitation, hydrograph analysis, reservoir and stream routing; groundwater, Darcy equation, well equation, well design; probability concepts in design; water law; dams; reservoirs; spillways; open channel and pipe network hydraulics; pumps; urban stormwater drainage; flood damage mitigation.

The Water Resources Management, Law, and Policy course will provide students with a survey of water resources development, control, law, policy and management with particular emphasis on public policy considerations including: the acquisition and exercise of water rights —appropriative and riparian; groundwater management; water districts and user organizations; environmental considerations; Federal/State relations including interstate allocation; and the Alabama Water Resources Act.

This course examines water resources planning case studies related to water quality protection/mitigation and state/regional water supply planning from a policy practitioner’s perspective. Students explore watershed and water supply planning to understand the elements involved, stakeholders, and strategy recommendations pursued including water-use conservation and efficiency measures.

This course explores the critical role of water reuse in sustainable resource management, addressing both the engineering principles and interdisciplinary challenges involved. Students will examine water treatment technologies, regulatory frameworks, and the environmental and economic impacts of water reuse across various sectors. Case studies will highlight applications in agriculture, industry, and urban environments, with a focus on emerging technologies and innovative solutions.

The purpose of this course is to provide knowledge of water safety instruction so that the student will be able to instruct groups and individuals in this discipline.

This course is designed for students to obtain the Red Cross Water Safety Instruction (WSI) certification, and learn how to teach using a Mastery Motivational Climate/TARGET approach. More than half of the semester will involve providing swim lessons to students grades K-6 from a San Marcos school.
