Hydrography is the branch of applied sciences which deals with the measurement and description of the physical features of oceans, seas, coastal areas, lakes and rivers, as well as with the prediction of their change over time, for the primary purpose of safety of navigation and in support of all other marine activities, including economic ...
The term hydrography is used synonymously to describe maritime cartography, which in the final stages of the hydrographic process uses the raw data collected through hydrographic survey into information usable by the end user. Hydrography is collected under rules which vary
A stream hydrograph is commonly determining the influence of different hydrologic processes on discharge from the subject catchment. Because the timing, magnitude, and duration of groundwater return flow differs so greatly from that of direct runoff, separating and understanding the influence of these distinct processes is key to analyzing and simulating the likely hydrologic effects of ...
Geographic information systems (GISs) have become a useful and important tool in the field of hydrology to study and manage Earth's water resources.Climate change and greater demands on water resources require a more knowledgeable disposition of arguably one of our most vital resources.
Occupations or careers related to bathymetry include the study of oceans and rocks and minerals on the ocean floor, and the study of underwater earthquakes or volcanoes. The taking and analysis of bathymetric measurements is one of the core areas of modern hydrography, and a fundamental component in ensuring the safe transport of goods ...

Despite the importance Medicaid places on providing access to health care, many states have inconsistent policies toward paying for medications used to treat opiate addiction. The American Society of Addiction Medicine surveyed each state’s Medicaid program to determine which medications are covered and if any limitations exist.
Hydrometry – the measurement of the different components of the hydrologic cycle; Chemical hydrology – the study of the chemical characteristics of water; Ecohydrology – the study of interactions between organisms and the hydrologic cycle
