A.3. Erudite how to collect hydrological data.

A.4.Can be able analysis hydrological data.

A.5. Can be able to explain hydrological data and can be used in water resources management.

B. Mental skills

B.1. Identify the different hydrological models in the study of water resources.

B. 2. Can be able to use the remote sensing data in water resource management.

B.3. Can be able to evaluate the morphological properties of watershed.

B.4.Can be able to discuss the desertification through the change of hydrological condition.

B.5.Can be able to understand the international and local rules of water resources.

C. Scientific and professional skills
