Hydrology :Treats of the water of the earth, their occurrence, circulation and distribution, their chemical & physical properties and their reaction with their environment, including their relation to living things. Weather and Hydrology: In hydrologic problems metrology plays an important role which includes the determination of probable max. precipitation for spillway design and determination of probable max. winds over water surface for evaluating resulting waves in connection with the design of dams. Hydrological cycle: Various aspects of water related ...
Starter • In pairs, describe what these human activities are and then explain why they are carried out. • Forestry • Urbanisation • Deforestation • Reservoirs/Dam building • Irrigation • Mining Factors affecting the hydrological cycle • The hydrological cycle as we discovered in the last lesson is a closed system which is powered by the sun. • However, it can be affected by both physical and human factors. Physical factors • Relief – the steeper the slope, the more ...
Water Cycle 2 The drainage basin system • The drainage basin is a subset of the global hydrological cycle • It is defined as a catchment area forming part of the Earth's surface area which is drained by a particular stream or river • It is an open system which allows energy and matter to be transferred across its boundary (the watershed or drainage divide) from external areas Class activity Why is a river drainage basin an open system ...
I. What is the Hydrologic Cycle? • Powered by solar energy • Transfers of water between the surface and the subsurface (land, oceans and the atmosphere) • Physical and chemical interactions with Earth's material that accompany the movement of water and the biological processes that affect it I. What is the Hydrologic Cycle? • Human interactions shape and greatly influence the availability, quality and flow of water systems 1. agriculture 2. manufacturing 3. mining 4. recreation UNESCO: International Hydrological ...

What is the water cycle? The water cycle is the name we give to describe the way water moves throughout planet Earth. The water cycle has two other names: The hydrological cycle The H O cycle 2 How does the water move in a cycle? The water cycle has four main parts. These are the steps the water goes through when it’s moving through the Earth: 1.Evaporation 2.Condensation 3.Precipitation 4.Accumulation Evaporation This happens when bodies ...
