    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrology

    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, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_hydrology

    Hydrometeorology – the study of the transfer of water and energy between land and water body surfaces and the lower atmosphere; Isotope hydrology – the study of the isotopic signatures of water; Surface hydrology – the study of hydrologic processes that operate at or near the Earth's surface

  4. Bacteriological water analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriological_water_analysis

    The common feature of all these routine screening procedures is that the primary analysis is for indicator organisms rather than the pathogens that might cause concern. . Indicator organisms are bacteria such as non-specific coliforms, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa that are very commonly found in the human or animal gut and which, if detected, may suggest the presence of se

    Conceptual model describing the mechanisms of water flow attenuation within a beaver wetland with an unconfined floodplain. Ecohydrology (from Greek οἶκος, oikos, "house(hold)"; ὕδωρ, hydōr, "water"; and -λογία, -logia) is an interdisciplinary scientific field studying the interactions between water and ecological systems.

  7. GIS and hydrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIS_and_hydrology

    Hydrologists make use of this hydrologic budget when they study a watershed. The inputs in a hydrologic budget include precipitation, surface flow, and groundwater flow. Outputs consist of evapotranspiration, infiltration, surface runoff, and surface/groundwater flows. All of these quantities can be measured or estimated based on environmental ...

  8. Bacteriology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriology

    Bacteriology is the study of bacteria and their relation to medicine. Bacteriology evolved from physicians needing to apply the germ theory to address the concerns relating to disease spreading in hospitals the 19th century. [5] Identification and characterizing of bacteria being associated to diseases led to advances in pathogenic bacteriology.

  9. Hydrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrometry

    Hydrometry is the monitoring of the components of the hydrological cycle including rainfall, groundwater characteristics, as well as water quality and flow characteristics of surface waters. [1] The etymology of the term hydrometry is from Greek : ὕδωρ ( hydor ) 'water' + μέτρον ( metron ) 'measure'.
