This problem set/lab exercise is on surface water hydrology, specifically the local nature of stream runoff. Using various websites, data sets, and graphs, the student analyzes rates of discharge and learns about flooding. The exercise is well-guided, with instructions on using a spreadsheet for data analysis. This resource is part of the Teaching Quantitative Skills in the Geosciences collection.
