Definition of hydrology in English: hydrologynoun hʌɪˈdrɒlədʒihaɪˈdrɑlədʒi mass nounThe branch of science concerned with the properties of the earth's water, and especially its movement in relation to land. 水文学 Example sentencesExamples - Physical sciences, particularly earth sciences such as geology and hydrology, are popular subjects for study and research in Oman's university and in a number of government ministries.
- Its scientific agenda brought back invaluable information about flora, fauna, hydrology and geography.
- The choice is made on the basis of their international significance in terms of ecology, botany, zoology, limnology, or hydrology.
- A synthesis of many disciplines, hydrology is the science of water, its properties, its circulation, and its distribution in Earth and atmospheric systems.
- The international conference is a forum for student teams to present the results of Earth science research projects about atmosphere, climate, hydrology, soil, land cover/biology, and phenology.
Derivativesadjective hʌɪdrəˈlɒdʒɪk Sedimentation and hydrologic alteration, common symptoms of urban watersheds, are likely filling in or flushing higher quality substrata. Example sentencesExamples - In immature basins, the predominant hydrologic drive is compaction.
- These results suggest that both hydrologic cycle and upland development are important in limiting the local distribution of this species.
- ‘We're seeing that snow melt is re-charging the hydrologic systems in the mountains, pushing old groundwater from subsurface reservoirs into rivers and streams,’ Williams said.
- It's used frequently by those who need to organize, analyze and process hydrologic information on a continental scale.
adjective hʌɪdrəˈlɒdʒɪk(ə)lˌhaɪdrəˈlɑdʒək(ə)l The hydrological characteristics of the lake are important for how meteorological conditions in winter affect biological processes. Example sentencesExamples - Changes in the ecological structure of the lowland areas, caused by increased and inconsistent hydrological fluctuations, have been reported by community hunters and trappers.
- These floodplains offer important ecological, hydrological and recreational functions and values.
- At a catchment level, the hydrological dimension is defined as a water cycle.
- The timing and extent of any changes in salt-affected areas will depend on the net changes in the hydrological cycle in each catchment area.
adverbhʌɪdrəˈlɒdʒɪk(ə)li Stratified or buried deposits in hydrologically abandoned or arrested cave passages are usually anthropogenically or biologically derived. Example sentencesExamples - The lake remains relatively isolated both physically and hydrologically by the surrounding steep mountain peaks.
- Seeps are also present on the continents and in some cases submarine seeps are hydrologically connected to the terrestrial groundwater systems.
- This was where I wanted to go explore, hydrologically speaking of course.
- As the basins are hydrologically closed, the lake level varies rapidly in response to changes in moisture, whether seasonally or over much longer periods of time.
nounhʌɪˈdrɒlədʒɪsthaɪˈdrɑlədʒəst Across the world, farmers are pumping groundwater faster than precipitation can replenish it, causing a steady drop in water tables; a process referred to by hydrologists as ‘groundwater overdrafting’. Example sentencesExamples - Agriculturalists rate the impact on primary industries, hydrologists compare ground water levels, and sociologists define it on social expectations and perceptions.
- In a future of water scarcity, watershed hydrologists will be in demand.
- Some hydrologists believe the artificial lake bed could be dry by autumn, prompting conservationists to ask Congress to decommission the dam.
- As water scarcity spreads, the demand for hydrologists to advise on watershed management, water sources and water efficiency will increase.
