Study guides

6

1 The Hydrologic Cycle

Explore where water is stored, how it moves through the hydrologic cycle, and how solar energy, gravity, and climate shape its movement.
Study guide · Updated

2 Water at the Land Surface

Explains how precipitation is intercepted, infiltrates soil, contributes to evapotranspiration and runoff, and is accounted for in a drainage-basin water balance.
Study guide · Updated

3 Drainage Basins and Runoff

Learn how drainage basins and stream networks are defined, and how basin characteristics shape runoff and streamflow response.
Study guide · Updated

4 Rivers and Streamflow

Learn how river flow is measured, how drainage networks and channels develop, how rivers transport sediment, and how floods affect floodplains.
Study guide · Updated

5 Groundwater

Learn how groundwater is stored and moves, how aquifers are replenished and affected by pumping, and how groundwater exchanges water with rivers.
Study guide · Updated

6 Water Systems and Human Impacts

Learn how water moves through connected watersheds, how human activities affect water supply, quality, and flood risk, and how water management can respond.
