Introduction

Overview

This site is a web-based “workbook” containing instructions and information needed to undertake the activities and assessments in ENVT2251 Hydrology and Water Resource Management unit at UWA.

The workbook is broken up into 3 types of activities:

  • Exercises: non-assessed desktop-based activities, to be undertaken either self-paced or in-class workshops.
  • Labs: Practical activities to be undertaken in the lab or field sessions as guided by teaching staff.
  • Assessments: Specific instructions for assessed activities.

Note that work undertaken in the exercises maybe referred to in the unit quiz assessments, or form the foundation of tasks required in the assessments.

The module specific activities will be updated sequentially throughout semester.
