Hydrology

Water is a resource so central to our very survival that careful management is necessary to ensure competing interests have the access they need to it. Hydrology studies play a crucial role in water resources management. Monitoring water level and flow data from waterways, lakes, groundwater systems, and other aquatic resources provides vital information for flood forecasting, water supply determinations, water conservation studies, reservoir operations, and in the planning of large-scale water projects. This information aids the development of effective solutions for issues related to water availability and water allocation.
