Textbook: Elements of Physical Hydrology, 2/e, by George Hornberger et al. (required) (also on 3-hour loan at Course Reserves in TVL)

Course Description. Hydrology for Water Resources Management is a course in physical hydrology designed for students without backgrounds in engineering or the physical sciences. Requiring just one term of calculus (MTH 227, `1241 or 251) and upper-division or graduate standing, the course will provide students with a quantitative introduction to surface and subsurface hydrology. Its purpose is not to produce hydrologists but to give students exposure to physical hydrology so that they can become better water resources professionals and ‘crap detectors’ (aka critical thinkers).

Topics covered include: units, dimensions, and conversions; fluid mechanics; the hydrologic cycle; groundwater and vadose zone hydrology; open channel flow; watershed hydrology; land-atmosphere interactions. Real-world examples will be used when appropriate. We will follow the book closely; make sure you read it.

1 GEOG 424/524 Syllabus v.1 7 January 2018 Course materials online: I do not use Canvas; I have my own website. It's for announcements, handouts, revised course information and syllabi, homework assignments, PowerPoint lectures, etc. The course website is: http://bit.ly/2quwqsW

I do not post copies of my lectures, unless I use a Power Point, in which case I will post a PDF of the PPT. Some handouts will also be used and will be posted on the site. Links will be provided for videos (if links are available) shown and websites used.

Important notices regarding assignments, etc. will also be announced via e-mail, so it is essential that you check your e-mail regularly. All email will go to your ONID account. If you use another email, make sure your ONID email gets forwarded to it.

Grading. Based on a total of 500 points, distributed as follows: Quizzes (250 points; 5 @ 50 points each); Homework (200 points; 4 @ 50 points each); Take-home final exam (100 points). 524 students will be given a few more questions on homework assignments, quizzes, and the final exam. Of your 9 homework assignments and quizzes, the lowest grade will be dropped so eight will count for a total of 400 points.

Homework assignments will normally consist of numerical problems and be done without help from your classmates. They will be submitted as hard copies. Please ensure that you show all your work neatly and use a dark writing pen or pencil. You can word- process your homework if you so choose but it is not required. The Quizzes will be closed-book, about 35-40 minutes long, and cover only the lecture and reading materials since the last quiz. They will not have involved numerical problems but will be designed to test your understanding of the concepts and principles discussed. On quiz day we will have about 45 minutes of regular class, then 30 minutes at the end for the quiz. No make-ups will be given. The Final Exam will be a take-home exam.

The point totals for determining the final grades at the end of the term are: 424 Students. A = 500 - 470, A- = 465—450; B+ = 445—435, B = 430—420, B- = 415— 400; C+ = 395—385, C = 380—370: C- = 365—350; D+ = 345 - 335; D = 330 - 320; D- = 315 - 300; F = < 300. Note: For P/N or S/U students, 70% is required for P or S. 524 Students. Same as above, except that F = < 350 (< 70%).

Deadlines. Assigned work must be submitted on the due date. Late work will be marked down 25% for each day it is late. You can put assignments in my CEOAS mailbox by 4 PM on the due date. After that time, the clock starts on the lateness penalty.

Etiquette. My commitment to you is to return assignments promptly, and be on time, organized, ready for class. I will treat you with courtesy and respect and answer your questions. I ask the same of you, and out of courtesy to your colleagues that you not eat, talk, read, or walk around during class. [Note: email me by 5 PM 11 January with 'Extra Credit' in the subject line to get 15 points of EC - really!]. There will be no cell/smart phone use (including text messaging) during class. Please set phones on vibrate. Use of computers (online or not) is allowable as long as it does not prove disruptive to your classmates or me. You can address me by my full first name, or by

2 GEOG 424/524 Syllabus v.1 7 January 2018 calling me ‘Professor’, ‘Doctor’, or Prof. or Dr. Campana. This is not Europe, so you do not have to use Prof. Dr. Campana.

Participation is an important aspect of this class. Attendance is important but engagement in the class is even more so. You are expected to read class material before it is covered in class and become actively engaged by asking questions and answering questions that I ask. If it becomes apparent to me that most of the class is not reading the material, I reserve the right to institute unannounced quizzes that will count towards your final grade.

Office Hours. I endeavor to keep my office hours as shown. If for some reason I cannot keep them I will let you know. You are always welcome to make an appointment to see me outside normal office hours, or, if my door’s open, drop in to see if I am available. Incompletes. Students may request an incomplete ('I') at the end of the course. To make a request, the student must have attempted at least 200 points of problems/quizzes. Such a request must be made in person and before the last day of instruction (16 March). Keep in mind the word 'request'; I am not obligated to give you an 'I'. Also note that when an incomplete is given, the class grade at the time of the incomplete must be specified.

Course Objectives 1) Provide an overview of physical hydrology 2) Identify and explore the various facets of physical hydrology by solving problems 3) Illustrate specific situations with case histories 4) Expose students to the use and interpretation of a simple water resources model 5) Equip students with the tools to become hydrologic ‘crap detectors’

Learner Outcomes 1) Acquire specialized language and concepts relevant to physical hydrology 2) Develop appreciation for complexities and disciplines related to water resources decision‐making and policy-making 3) Demonstrate ability to obtain, analyze, synthesize, and critique quantitative information relevant to physical hydrology from a range of external sources 4) Communicate verbally, and through writing, key concepts, including advanced concepts, relevant to water resources management 5) Develop ethical and moral guidelines for personal approach to water resources.

University and College Policies Disabilities: Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any emergency medical information the instructor should know, or who need special arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with the instructor as early as possible, no later that the first week of the term. In order to arrange alternative testing, the student should make the request at least one week in advance of the test. Students seeking accommodations must be registered with Disability Access Services (541-737-4098) or go to http://ds.oregonstate.edu
