Daily Objectives #2 (January 15, 2004) Dr. Sanders
By the end of today's class, you should be able to do the following:
v Write an explanation of how the hydrologic equation works.
v Given a hydrologic system, identify inflows and outflows, tell where water might be stored in the system, and explain how changes in storage might be accommodated in the system.
v Construct a water budget for a given hydrologic system.
v Work with different units of hydrologic measurement for length, area, volume, velocity, volumetric flow rate (discharge), and temperature.
v Determine the number of significant figures appropriate in a quantitative estimation. (Visit these websites for a good summary and a pretty good summary of the rules for counting and calculating with "sig figs".)
