<p>My son will be applying to graduate schools this fall and his interest is in Environmental Engineering. He will be a geology and math major and his particular interest is hydrology at this point. Any recommendations? I know he has been inquiring at UColorado/Boulder; Colorado School of Mines; Univ of Illinois and UCAL Berkeley and probably Cornell. Thanks.</p>

<p>Wow, what a list. Thank you!</p>
<p>If it makes a difference, UIllinois has one of the best university libraries in the country. Seriously - it's huge and has a tremendous interlibrary loan program. It's amazing.</p>
