Hydrological Mapping

Hydrological mapping is the process of creating maps that show how water moves across the landscape. This includes identifying rivers, lakes, wetlands, and groundwater sources, as well as understanding how rainwater flows and collects in different areas. These maps help scientists, urban planners, and policymakers manage water resources, predict floods, and protect ecosystems. By visualizing water patterns, hydrological mapping plays a crucial role in sustainable development and environmental conservation, ensuring that communities can access safe water while minimizing risks related to excess or insufficient water.
