In the first part of course, there will be 6 experimental labs in Dillman 110.  Although work in groups during lab sessions, calculations and written lab reports are to be completed individually.

In the second part of course, lab sessions will be used to explain tasks required for team project.  Weekly memos and final project report to be completed as a team.

Each lab report/memo due at start of your next scheduled lab session, unless otherwise indicated by TA or Dr. Webster.  Lab TAs will provide additional details on format and grading of lab reports.  (See lab syllabus)

There will be two in‐class mid‐term exams, each covering approximately 5 weeks of material, and a comprehensive final exam given during finals week.

All exams will be closed book/notes.  However, you may bring a one‐page crib sheet (8.5” x 11”, front and back) to each mid‐term exam; two sheets may be brought to the final exam.

There will be no make‐up exams.  In the event of pre‐meditated absences, for such reasons as university‐sponsored activities or family emergency, Dr. Webster should be notified as early as possible.  Exams may be given prior to absence.

What size structure is needed?

Who may use the water?

What kind of water is it?

What structural problems exist?

How is the naturalenvironment affected?

Is the project economicallyefficient and equitable? 14

HURRICANE IRENEVERMONT, AUGUST 2010“…development had changed the landscape around rivers. By making them straighter and easier to build around, it meant that heavy rains turned them from placid waterways into chutes of destruction.” –Kendra Pierre-Louis, 2016

FLOOD PREDICTION (HYDROLOGIC MODELING) Given measured rainfall values, predict magnitude of streamflow at watershed outlet (e.g. location of road crossing)

FLOOD MITIGATION Use hydrologic models to analyze impact of urbanization and/or channel modification on streamflow at watershed outlet (e.g. road crossing)
