The science of water, its properties, phenomena, and distribution over the earth's surface
The study of the occurrence, distribution, and circulation of natural waters of the earth
Scientific study of the waters of the Earth, especially with relation to the effects of precipitation and evaporation upon the occurrence and character of ground water
the occurrence, distribution, and movement of water both on and under the earth's surface It can be described as the study of the hydrologic cycle
The scientific study of the waters of the earth, especially with relation to the effects of precipitation and evaporation upon the occurrence and character of water in streams, lakes, and on or below the land surface In terms of the hydrologic cycle, the scope of hydrology may be defined as that portion of the cycle from precipitation to re-evaporation or return to the water of the seas Applied hydrology utilizes scientific findings to predict rates and amounts of runoff (river-forecasting), estimate required spillway and reservoir capacities, study soil-water-plant relationships in agriculture, estimate available water supply, and for other applications necessary to the management of water resources Compare to hydrography
The science dealing with the study of water on the surface of the land, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere
the science dealing with the study of water on the surface of the land, in soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere
Scientific discipline concerned with the waters of the Earth, including their occurrence, distribution, circulation via the hydrologic cycle, and interactions with living things. It also deals with the chemical and physical properties of water in all its phases
the study of the occurrence, distribution, and chemistry of all waters of the earth
A science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water, specifically the study of water and its behavior on the surface of land, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere, particularly with respect to evaporation and precipitation
The applied science concerned with the waters of the earth, their occurrences, distribution, and circulation through the unending hydrologic cycle of: Precipitation, consequent runoff, infiltration, and storage; eventual evaporation; and so forth It is concerned with the physical and chemical reaction of water with the rest of the earth, and its relation to the life of the earth
The study of the properties, distribution and circulation of water, specifically water on the surface or land, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere Also used to refer to the characteristics of water flow in or on a given site
The study of the water cycle and the flow of water on and under the surface of the earth
The study of the waters of the earth, especially with relation to the effects of precipitation and evaporation upon the occurrence and character of water in streams, lakes, and on or below the land surface
The study of the distribution, properties, and effects of water on the earth's surface, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere
The study of the occurrence, distribution, circulation, and characteristics of natural waters of the earth
the branch of geology that studies water on the earth and in the atmosphere: its distribution and uses and conservation
The science dealing with the waters of Earth their distribution and movement on the surface and underground; and the cycle involving evaporation and precipitation
The scientific study of the properties, distribution, and affects of water on the earth's surface, in the soil and under ground, and in the atmosphere
the science that describes and analyzes the occurrence of water in nature, and its circulation near the surface of the earth (2)
or hydrochemistry Subdivision of hydrology that deals with the chemical characteristics of the water on and beneath the surface of the Earth. Water in all forms is affected chemically by the materials with which it comes into contact, and it can dissolve many elements in significant quantities. Chemical hydrology is concerned with the processes involved and thus includes study of phenomena such as the transport of salts from land to sea (by erosion of rocks and surface runoff) and from sea to land (by evaporation, cloud formation, and precipitation) and the age and origin of groundwater in desert regions and of ice sheets and glaciers
pertaining to the science that encompasses the occurrence, distribution, movement and properties of the waters of the earth and their relationship with the environment within each phase of the hydrologic cycle The hydrologic cycle is a continuous process by which water is purified by evaporation and transported from the earth's surface (including the oceans) to the atmosphere and back to the land and oceans All of the physical, chemical and biological processes involving water as it travels its various paths in the atmosphere, over and beneath the earth's surface and through growing plants, are of interest to those who study the hydrologic cycle
{s} of or pertaining to hydrology, of the study of the properties and distribution of water on the earth in the atmosphere; of or pertaining to the properties and distribution of water on the earth and in the atmosphere
a science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water on the surface of the land, in the soil and underlying rocks and in the atmosphere
refers to water, and is often used to refer to the natural geographic characteristics affecting the overland flow of water, as in hydrologic characteristics
