Geohydrology

Geohydrology is the study of groundwater, including how it moves through soil and rock and how it interacts with the environment. It helps us understand water resources, such as aquifers (natural underground water sources), and their role in ecosystems. Geohydrology is important for managing water supplies, assessing pollution risks, and protecting natural habitats. By using techniques from environmental geophysics, scientists can map and analyze groundwater systems, ensuring sustainable water use and preservation of the environment. This knowledge is crucial for addressing issues like drought, contamination, and land development.
