Outline and Purpose of the Course	Physical mechanisms of the hydrologic cycle are described from the engineering viewpoint. The rainfall-runoff modeling and its prediction method are emphasized. Physical hydrological processes explored are surface flow, saturated-unsaturated subsurface flow, streamflow routing, and evapotranspiration. Physical mechanism of each hydrological process and its numerical modeling method are explained. The basic equations and numerical simulation methods are provided. Then, detail of distributed hydrological modeling is explained through exercise.
Course Goals	The goals of the class are to understand the physical mechanism of hydrological processes, their basic equations, and numerical simulation methods.
