Applied hydrology is the study of hydrological cycle, precipitation, runoff, relationship between precipitation and runoff, hydrographs, Flood Routing |
Branches of HydrologyHydrology can be subdivided into the following branches:
Study of chemical characteristics of water.
Interaction between organisms and the hydrological cycle.
Also referred to as geohydrology, is the study of the presence and movement of ground water.
is the adaptation of information technology to hydrology and water resource applications
is the study of the transfer of water and energy between land and water body surfaces and the lower atmosphere.
is the study of isotropic signatures of water (origin and age of water).
is the study of hydrologic processes that operate at or near earth’s surface.
It is the study of underground water.
It covers water storage in the form of reservoir and flood protection.
