Editing Hydrology (section)

== Applications ==
* Calculation of [[rainfall]].
* Calculation of [[Evapotranspiration]]
* Calculating [[surface runoff]] and [[precipitation]].
* Determining the [[water balance]] of a region.
* Determining the [[Hydrology (agriculture)|agricultural water balance]].
* Designing [[riparian-zone restoration]] projects.
* Mitigating and predicting [[flood]], [[landslide]] and [[Drought]] risk.
* Real-time [[flood forecasting]], [[flood warning]], Flood Frequency Analysis
* Designing [[irrigation]] schemes and managing agricultural productivity.
* Part of the hazard module in [[catastrophe modeling]].
* Providing [[drinking water]].
* Designing [[dams]] for [[water supply]] or [[hydroelectricity|hydroelectric power]] generation.
* Designing [[bridge]]s.
* Designing [[sanitary sewer|sewers]] and urban drainage systems.
* Analyzing the impacts of [[antecedent moisture]] on sanitary sewer systems.
* Predicting [[geomorphology|geomorphologic]] changes, such as [[erosion]] or [[sedimentation]].
* Assessing the impacts of natural and anthropogenic environmental change on [[water resources]].
* Assessing [[pollution|contaminant]] transport risk and establishing environmental policy guidelines.
* Estimating the water resource potential of river basins.
* [[Water resources]] management.
* [[Water resources engineering]] - application of hydrological and hydraulic principles to the planning, development, and management of water resources for beneficial human use. It involves assessing water availability, quality, and demand; designing and operating water infrastructure; and implementing strategies for sustainable water management.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://engineeringonline.ucr.edu/blog/what-is-water-resources-engineering/ |title=What is water resources engineering? |website= University of California Riverside |access-date=Aug 18, 2024}}</ref>
