Founded in 1873 by the Methodist Episcopal Church 's Bishop Isaac Wiley and certified in 1882 by the Freedman's Aid Society , it is one of the oldest predominantly black colleges west of the Mississippi River .
Ecohydrology is the study of ecological systems in the hydrosphere. It can be divided into the physical study of aquatic ecosystems and the biological study of aquatic organisms. Ecohydrology includes the effects that organisms and aquatic ecosystems have on one another as well as how these ecoystems are affected by humans. [26]
There are three basic types of freshwater ecosystems: Lentic (slow moving water, including pools, ponds, and lakes), lotic (faster moving water, for example streams and rivers) and wetlands (areas where the soil is saturated or inundated for at least part of the time).
