== Branches ==
* [[Chemical hydrology]] is the study of the chemical characteristics of water.
* [[Ecohydrology]] is the study of interactions between organisms and the hydrologic cycle.
* [[Hydrogeology]] is the study of the presence and movement of [[groundwater]].
* [[Hydrogeochemistry]] is the study of how terrestrial water dissolves minerals [[weathering]] and this effect on water chemistry.
* [[Hydroinformatics]] is the adaptation of information technology to hydrology and water resources applications.
* [[Hydrometeorology]] is the study of the transfer of water and energy between land and water body surfaces and the lower atmosphere.
* [[Isotope hydrology]] is the study of the isotopic signatures of water.
* [[Surface-water hydrology|Surface hydrology]] is the study of hydrologic processes that operate at or near Earth's surface.
* [[Drainage basin]] management covers water storage, in the form of reservoirs, and floods protection.
* [[Water quality]] includes the chemistry of water in rivers and lakes, both of pollutants and natural solutes.
