1. For a selected or assigned state, summarize the primary hydrologic issues/problems in one typed paragraph and in a brief (~2 min.), oral overview to the class.  Use the appropriate USGS web site

2. For any river and groundwater well in the U.S., find the stream discharge/water level at some time between Aug. 26 and Aug. 31.  Know the location of the well and the stream. (Hint: go to USGS water data).

3. Review, as necessary, basic geologic principles, rocks, minerals, topographic maps, and hydrology.  I'll do this to a minor extent in classes and labs, but this responsibility is largely yours.  Continue this 'review' as needed throughout the semester.

4. Fetter, Ch. 1, #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.    I will not collect these homework problems, but I will go over it, as necessary, in class.  Answers to odd numbered problems are in the back of your text and at Fetter's web site, which has worked out solutions.
