Description: Embedded video lesson on first slide! Then students answer 30 questions. Hydrology is the scientific study of water, including its occurrence, properties, circulation, and distribution on Earth's surface. It helps us understand the complex water systems, solve water problems, define water quality and quantity, and assess the effects of water on the environment. Hydrologists study water samples, measure streamflow, assess human activities, and develop strategies to reduce pollution and erosion. Human activities, such as deforestation, pollution, urbanization, climate change, and sedimentation, have a significant impact on water sources. To improve water quality, proper waste disposal, wastewater treatment, organic farming, and stormwater management are essential. Hydrologists play a crucial role in protecting water resources and ensuring their sustainability.
