7-week interactive distance-learning course in hydrology: Basic Hydrological Sciences, for RA-II

This is is the Second African Region- Distance Learning Course in Hydrology: Basic Hydrologic Sciences

IMTR in collaboration with WMO, the COMET Program and NWS/NOAA are organizing the Second Distance Learning Course in Hydrology I: Basic Hydrological Sciences for professionals working in hydrological forecasting in the African Region, from 24th August to 9th October 2015.

The course is designed to meet the needs of environmental forecasters who do not have formal training in hydrology, but who work with hydrologic data, particularly in flood forecasting. The course (in English only) is intended to provide an understanding of ground, surface, and atmospheric forms of water, and will prepare the student for further study in hydrologic methods and forecasting.
