Overview

1. Introduction to the general science of hydrology (water science), components of the atmosphere and weather factors related to water, physical processes and state transformation.2. Definition of phase transition process, study of surface water, study of sea and ocean water, factors affecting water movement. Introducing methods and devices for measuring evaporation and condensation, understanding cloud formation, and precipitation classification.3. Familiarity with factors affecting precipitation, precipitation efficiency, precipitation estimates, and precipitation measurements. Also, surface precipitation and upper atmosphere condensation, rainfall return, temporal and spatial distribution.4. Understanding the nature of liquid and solid precipitation, terrain precipitation, frontal precipitation, precipitation calculations and data analysis. Also, the phenomena related to precipitation, torrential rain, floods, acid rain, water pollution, and the validity of precipitation water.
