A hydrological map is an important tool that shows information about surface and groundwater in a given area, including rivers, lakes, valleys, watersheds, and drainage networks. Helps avoid building in areas prone to flooding or landslides. Supports water resource planning and management efforts for sustainability. Helps identify surface and groundwater sources and distribution. #dataVisualization #gis #Hydrology

🌊 How Do River Discharge and Water Level Interact? 🌊    The relationship between river discharge and water level is at the heart of effective water management. These two factors are deeply interconnected: water level determines a river’s cross-sectional area and velocity, influencing river discharge. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for flood forecasting, water management, and river engineering—vital to building climate resilience.    In our latest blog post, we break it all down:  💧 Key terms  💧 The relationship between water level and river discharge  💧 Computational formulas of each   💧 Practical applications  💧 Real-world examples  🔗We hope this piece: https://lnkd.in/eqXg2-8z 💡provides clarity   💡and inspires innovative solutions for better water resource management! #Hydrology #WeekendRead #RiverDischarge #FloodForecasting #WaterResources #RiverEngineering #BWI #SustainableWaterManagement 

Today marks the start of a new water year, running from October 1st to September 30th. This period is significant for hydrologists as it allows for a more accurate assessment of precipitation and stream flow by aligning with the wet season.   As we reset our rain gauge totals and check their accuracy, it's a good time to consider the importance of water management and conservation in our communities. To learn about how WEST can support your community’s water resources engineering needs, visit https://lnkd.in/g6c6ZRdF.      #hydrology #water #civilengineering

🌊 New Review Paper out on Urban Water Security and Safety 🌊 What is the difference between water security and safety? Actually, they are more interconnected than you think. 🔍 Water security isn't just about scarcity—it's also about protecting water sources from contamination and ensuring resources of an acceptable quality. Water safety refers to water quality meeting health standards. With climate change and urbanization intensifying these challenges, cities face growing risks to their water supply. Are we doing enough to protect both our water resources and public health? 🚨 This review covers (ground)water safety and security issues from different European urban settings.

🌍 **The Vital Role of Hydrology and Hydrogeology in Water Resource Management** 💧 In a world facing increasing water scarcity, efficient and sustainable management of water resources has never been more critical. This is where **hydrology** and **hydrogeology** come into play. **Hydrology** helps us understand the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth, while **hydrogeology** focuses on groundwater systems and their interactions with surface water. Together, they form the foundation for effective water resource planning, helping to: 🔹 **Monitor water availability** 🔹 **Predict and manage floods and droughts** 🔹 **Ensure sustainable groundwater extraction** 🔹 **Protect water quality from pollution** 🔹 **Plan for climate change adaptation** In regions where water is limited, such as arid or semi-arid areas, these disciplines are essential for managing the delicate balance between human needs and ecosystem health. Without a deep understanding of these natural processes, long-term water security is impossible. As we face the challenges of the 21st century, let's continue to innovate and invest in hydrological and hydrogeological research to safeguard our most precious resource: **water**. 💧 #WaterManagement #Hydrology #Hydrogeology #Sustainability #ClimateChange #Groundwater #WaterResources

And more about groundwater pumping. Are we living in a deflating balloon? What solutions should we consider? Definitely water diffusion over land and gravity whenever possible, but how do we help the Earth to recover from the sinking and tilting?

In wet years, when groundwater recharge efforts in the state of CA are at their peak, areas with higher percentages of clay in the soil profile appear to show some reversal of subsidence. These areas also tend to be the areas with more subsidence in drought years.
