Ecohydrodynamics

Ecohydrodynamics is the study of how water movement interacts with ecological systems. It explores how rivers, lakes, and coastal areas influence the distribution of plants, animals, and nutrients. By examining the effects of water flow, sediment transport, and aquatic ecosystems, scientists can understand how habitats develop and change. This field helps inform conservation efforts and water management strategies, ensuring the health of both aquatic environments and the species that depend on them. Essentially, it integrates hydrology (the study of water) and ecology (the study of living organisms) to better understand and protect our natural water systems.
