Geology
Is the natural science that is concerned with the accurrence , properties, distribution, and movement of water in the natural and man made environment
Hydrology
The accurrence , distribution and movement of water in the natural environment can be visualized through a cycle process known as …
Hydrologic cycle
Sustainable use of water resources
Water management
Central method used in water resources planning
Water resources system analysis
Mathematical model , typically a set of algebraic equation
System transformation function
System transformation derived from differential equation of :
Conservation of mass
Conservation of momentum
Conservation of energy
Transform the (space and time ) distribution of water in the hydrologic cycle .Governed by fundamental conservation principles .
Hydrologic processes
Allows us to derive fundamental principles in hydrologic processes
Reynold’s transform theorem
Interchange of molecule between different layers/regions in a substance due to different in
Temperature
Velocity
Concentration
Interchange of molecule between different layers/regions in a substance due to different in temperature, velocity, concentration.
Conduction
Mechanism causing greater rate of exchange of mass , energy , and momentum than molecular exchange
Turbulence
Turbulence -Mechanism causing greater rate of exchange of mass , energy , and momentum than molecular exchange
Convection
Is the constant cycle movement of water from the ground to the atmosphere and back to the ground .
Hydrologic cycle
Components of hydrologic cycle :
Evaporation Transpiration Condensation Precipitation Interception Infiltration Surface run off Percolation Interflow Ground water flow
The discharge of water out of the atmosphere , generally onto land or water surface.
Precipiration
The process by which water vapor is emitted into the atmosphere from plants surfaces.
Transpiration
The combination of water released to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration .
Evapotranspiration
Lateral movement of percolated water.
Interflow
The movement of water through the soil surfaces into the soil which is controlled by soil texture ,soil structure, vegetation and soil moisture status
Infiltration
Precipitation that moves downward ,percolate or infiltrates through cracks ,joints, and pores in soil and rocks until it reaches the water table where it becomes ground water
Percolation
A body of water found in the deep aquifer zone that flow laterally and eventually merges with river , streams, lakes and oceans
Ground water flow
