Hydrology

The interdisciplinary study of the movement, characteristics and distribution of water, surface-water (fresh water and salt water), groundwater, and water-quality ^[1]^[2] Subdisciplines include:

Chemical hydrology: the study of the chemical characteristics of water. Also called hydrochemistry, chemical hydrology deals with the chemical characteristics of the surface water (freshwater and marine) and subterranean water. Water is a chemical solvent and, interacting chemically with materials with which it comes into contact, can dissolve many elements.
Drainage basin management hydrology.
Ecohydrology (the study of interactions between organisms and the hydrologic cycle).
Engineering hydrology
Global hydrology
Groundwater hydrology
Hydrobiology
Hydrogeology is the study of the presence and movement of water in aquifers.
Hydroinformatics is the adaptation of information technology to hydrology and water resources applications.
Hydrometeorology is the study of the transfer of water and energy between land and water body surfaces and the lower atmosphere.
Isotope hydrology is the study of the isotopic signatures of water.
Operational hydrology
Qualitative hydrology
Surface hydrology is the study of hydrologic processes that operate at or near the Earth's surface.
Water resources development and management
