Geohydrological
Geohydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water beneath the Earth's surface. It is a branch of hydrology that specifically focuses on groundwater. Geohydrologists investigate the physical and chemical characteristics of underground water, including its interaction with the surrounding soil, rock, and groundwater bodies. Key areas of study include the properties of aquifers, which are underground layers of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated sediments, and the flow of groundwater through these formations. This involves understanding concepts like hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and the water table.
The discipline plays a crucial role in managing water resources, as groundwater is a significant source of
