Hydrology in Practice
The concept of the hydrological cycle forms the basis for the engineering hydrologist’s
understanding of the sources of water at or under the Earth's surface and its consequent
movement by various pathways back to the principal storage in the oceans. Two of the
greatest problems for the hydrologist are quantifying the amount of water in the different
phases in the cycle and evaluating the rate oftransfer of water from one phase to another
within the cycle.
