Engineering Hydrology

Engineering hydrology is the science of analyzing and managing water resources, particularly focusing on how water moves through the environment—such as rainfall, runoff, groundwater, and streams. It involves applying scientific principles to design systems like dams, flood control, drainage, and water supply infrastructure, ensuring they function effectively and sustainably. By understanding patterns, quantities, and flow of water, engineers can develop solutions to prevent floods, provide clean water, and support agriculture and industry, all while preserving ecological balance.
