Purpose of lecture

Water issues consist of a very important part of global environmental issues and issues related to infrastructure/civil-engineering. In addition, water is one of the most important topics of our society. Also, research outcomes on terrestrial hydrology and water resources are typical modern examples of the application of environmental informatics. This class intends to provide students opportunity to study this particular field of science.
