Hydrological Surveying
Hydrological surveying is the process of studying and measuring the distribution, movement, and quality of water in various environments. This includes assessing rivers, lakes, groundwater, and precipitation patterns. The data collected helps in understanding water resources, managing flood risks, and planning for sustainable water use.
The surveys often involve using tools like hydrometers and flow meters to gather information on water levels and flow rates. Additionally, satellite imagery and GIS technology can be employed to analyze large areas efficiently. The results are crucial for environmental management, urban planning, and agricultural practices.
