Eco-hydrology

Eco-hydrology is the scientific study of how ecosystems, such as forests, wetlands, and rivers, interact with and influence the movement and distribution of water. It explores how plants, soil, and natural processes affect water availability, quality, and flow patterns, and how these water systems, in turn, shape the health and function of ecosystems. This field helps us understand sustainable water management and conservation strategies by recognizing the vital connections between living systems and the hydrological cycle.
