Ecohydrological Engineering
Ecohydrological Engineering will teach you to solve technological problems related to soil, water use, water conservation, water quality, soil conservation, irrigation/drainage, water management and soil-plant-water relationships of practical importance to the western United States. BAE is a major player in the water issues facing the state of Idaho. Faculty are involved in Snake River Plain aquifer issues including modeling efforts directed toward the Snake River Aquifer and water use issues. BAE has an internationally recognized program in remote sensing related to evapotranspiration and crop water response.
You will have an opportunity to work in programs related to nanoparticle transport, watershed management, hydrologic modeling, surface temperature modeling and other phenomena related to water and energy exchange.
Coursework - 128 credits required
Required course work includes university requirements (see regulation J-3) and coursework common to all options
