Aim: To provide a description of the governing processes in the hydrological cycle. Hereby, a basis to understand problems related to hydrology, such as exploitation of groundwater and the relationship between the atmosphere and surface runoff, is established. After concluding the course, the student is expected to understand commen hydrological flow and transport processes and to be able to describe the processes using mathematical modeling.

Contents: Atmospheric processes: Climatology, water vapor, precipitation, and evapotranspiration. Surface water: Runoff, description of the relation between precipitation and stream discharge. Groundwater flow: Stationary and transient flow, pump test analysis, effects of ground water abstraction. Flow in the unsaturated zone: Capillarity, stationary flow through near surface soils, infiltration. The equations governing the processes above are introduced and applied in analytical mathematical models and numerical computermodels.
