Hydrologist Job Description

A hydrologist looks at and studies the behavior of water.

In doing this, hydrologists look at the land, the bodies of water, and the interactions between them.

Hydrologists are then able to tell what effects water has on plants, animals, and people.

A hydrologist uses his or her knowledge of how water from rivers, lakes, and oceans affect the Earth’s surface.

These natural resources include water allocation, irrigation, farming, hydropower, and flood control.

A hydrologist also manages water-related issues such as pollution, drought, and nuclear waste.

When studying water, a hydro
