Hydrology is defined as the science that is concerned with all the
aspects of water available on Earth. It deals with the study of the
occurrence of water, its distribution, its properties, and circulation of
water on Earth including water resources, water cycle, and watershed
sustainability.
A professional of hydrology is known as a hydrologist. Using
different scientific techniques and analytical methods hydrologists
collect and analyze data to resolve water-related problems such as
natural disasters, environmental preservation, and water
management.
Application of Hydrology
• Hydrology helps to calculate the rainfall
• Hydrology helps to calculate the surface runoff and precipitation
• Designing bridges, sewers, irrigation schemes, and urban drainage systems
• Designing dams for hydroelectric power irrigation for water supply
• Real-time flood warning and forecasting
• Determining the water balance of a region and agricultural water balance.
• Estimating or predicting the flood, landslide, or drought risk
• Helping to analyze the impacts of antecedent moisture on the sanitary sewer
system
• Helps to predict geomorphology changes such as erosion or sedimentation
• Managing agricultural productivity, and many more.
