| Forest hydrology is the science that studies the effects of forest ecosystems on the water cycle and how these processes can be optimized through sustainable management. This course covers fundamental issues such as the water-holding capacity of forests, rainfall-runoff relationships, and water resource protection. This course includes understanding the effects of forest ecosystems on hydrological processes, the interaction between forest management and water resources, assessing the contribution of forests to water quality, flood control, and groundwater recharge, and understanding the role of forests in sustainable water resource management. |
