Hydrometry

Hydrometry is the branch of hydrology that measures and studies the flow and movement of water in natural and artificial channels, such as rivers and streams. It involves collecting data on water levels, flow rates, and discharge to understand how water moves through an area. This information helps in managing water resources, predicting floods, designing infrastructure, and ensuring environmental health. Hydrometers, gauges, and flow measurement techniques are used to gather accurate data, which supports sustainable water management and planning.
