  • and device governance strategies to improve livelihoods and health, build more resilient water futures, and move towards long-term sustainable and equitable groundwater use.

Hydrology, as detailed on Nature.com, is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the hydrologic cycle, water resources, and environmental watershed sustainability. This field encompasses various sub-disciplines such as surface hydrology, which deals with water on the land surface; groundwater hydrology, focusing on water beneath the Earth's surface; and hydrometeorology, which examines the interrelationship between atmospheric and hydrologic processes. The site highlights research areas like the impact of climate change on water resources, the management of water in urban and rural settings, the study of floods and droughts, and the development of models to predict water flow and quality. Additionally, it covers the importance of hydrology in policy-making for water conservation, pollution control, and sustainable development, emphasizing the integration of hydrological science with ecological, geological, and atmospheric sciences to address global water challenges.
