hydrology (earth sciences, physical sciences, ... Disciplines (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Generally, the study of the earth's water. Specifically, the science that studies the occurrence and movement of water on and over the surface of the earth. The main processes with which hydrology is concerned are precipitation, evaporation and transpiration, stream flow, and groundwater flow. Applications include flood control and the supply of water for domestic and industrial purposes, irrigation, and hydroelectric power.

| Chinese (traditional) ..... 廣義而言，指地球水域之研究。具體而言，為研究地表上及地表上方水域的形成與移動。水文學所關注的主要程序是降水、蒸發、蒸散、溪河流動以及地下水流動。其應用包括洪水控制以及家用與工業用水的供應，灌溉與水力發電。 |
| Dutch ..... In algemene zin, de wetenschap die het water op aarde bestudeert. In specifieke zin, de wetenschap die zich bezighoudt met de aanwezigheid en bewegingen van water op en boven het aardoppervlak. De belangrijkste processen in dat verband zijn neerslag, verdamping en transpiratie, stromingen en grondwaterbewegingen. Hydrologie omvat zaken als hoogwaterbeheersing, watervoorziening voor huishoudelijk en industrieel gebruik, irrigatie en het opwekken van waterkracht. |
| Spanish ..... Generalmente, el estudio del agua de la tierra. Específicamente, la ciencia que estudia los acontecimientos y movimientos del agua en y sobre la superficie de la tierra. Los procesos principales a los que la hidrología se avoca son la precipitación, evaporación y transpiración, flujos de corrientes y de aguas subterráneas. Las aplicaciones incluyen control de inundaciones y el suministro de agua para propósitos domésticos e industriales, irrigación y energía hidroeléctrica. |
