WHAT DOES HYDROLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hydrology

Hydrology

Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the hydrologic cycle, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability. A practitioner of hydrology is a hydrologist, working within the fields of earth or environmental science, physical geography, geology or civil and environmental engineering. Hydrology is subdivided into surface hydrology and marine hydrology. Domains of hydrology include hydrometeorology, surface hydrology, hydrogeology, drainage basin management and water quality, where water plays the central role. Oceanography and meteorology are not included because water is only one of many important aspects within those fields. Hydrological research can inform environmental engineering, policy and planning. The term hydrology is from Greek: ὕδωρ, hydōr, "water"; and λόγος, logos, "study".

Definition of hydrology in the English dictionary

The definition of hydrology in the dictionary is the study of the distribution, conservation, use, etc, of the water of the earth and its atmosphere, particularly at the land surface.
