Description of the Programme
Hydrology is studying the movement, distribution and quality of water on the planet while water resource management is related to the development of policies and regulations. The field of study covers subjects such as hydrogeology, marine hydrology, drainage basin management, water quality, irrigation, water conservation and water treatment. Water management also includes treatment of drinking water, industrial water, sewage and wastewater, flood protection and the water table. Hydrologists work to solve water-related problems. They study pollution carried by water- including oceans, rivers, streams, rain, snow and ice, and devise methods to clean and control it. Some study weather-related problems such as flood forecasting, drought management, acid rain and global warming. Others manage water resources so that the goals of all water users are achieved efficiently while protecting the environment.
