This is a two-component course intended to teach students habitat assessment techniques for freshwater ecosystems, as well as the basic elements of hydrology. Applied aspects of limnology are emphasized. In the hydrology section of the course students study how water is distributed, moved and stored on a global scale followed by the study of processes at small scale.

Students must also register in RENR 250L, the mandatory lab component of the course.

Registration restricted to students in the B.Sc. in Environmental and Conservation Sciences program. This course is also available as RRMT 239.
Non-B.Sc. ENCS students interested in taking RENR 250 should instead register in RRMT 239.
