The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to hydrology: Hydrology – study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the hydrologic cycle , water resources and environmental watershed sustainability.
Infographic explaining the hierarchy of the United States hydrologic unit system. Originally a four-tier system divided into regions, sub-regions, accounting units, and cataloging units, each unit was assigned a unique Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC). As first implemented the system had 21 regions, 221 subregions, 378 accounting units, and 2,264 ...
Static level is the level of water in the well when no water is being removed from the well by pumping. [8] Water table is the upper level of the zone of saturation, an underground surface in which the soil or rock is permanently saturated with water. [9] Well yield is the volume of water per unit time that is produced by the well from pumping. [8]
A hydrological code or hydrologic unit code is a sequence of numbers or letters (a geocode) that identify a hydrological unit or feature, such as a river, river reach, lake, or area like a drainage basin (also called watershed in North America) or catchment.
Rain falling over a drainage basin in Scotland.Understanding the cycling of water into, through, and out of catchments is a key element of hydrology. Hydrology (from Ancient Greek ὕδωρ (húdōr) ' water ' and -λογία () ' study of ') is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and management of water on Earth and other planets, including the water cycle, water resources ...

Hydrology (agriculture) Isotope hydrology is often used to understand sources and travel times in groundwater systems; Oscar Edward Meinzer is considered the "father of modern groundwater hydrology"; SahysMod is a spatial agro-hydro-salinity model with groundwater flow in a polygonal network;
Hydrology in Practice has been described by CRC Press as "likely to be the course text for every undergraduate/MSc hydrology course in the UK". [3]The book has been reviewed by the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, [4] the Journal of the American Water Resources Association, [5] the Hydrological Sciences Journal, [6] and the Journal of Hydrology, [7] along with being cited ...
