Hydrology is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the hydrologic cycle, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability. A practitioner of hydrology is ahydrologist, working within the fields of earth or environmental science, physical geography, geology or civil andenvironmental engineering. Hydrologists study how water moves across and through the Earth’s crust. They can use their expertise to solve problems in the areas of water quality or availability. Hydrologists work in the field and in offices. In the field, hydrologists may have to wade into lakes and streams to collect samples or to read and inspect monitoring equipment. In the office, hydrologists spend much their time using computers to analyze data and model their findings. For most jobs, hydrologists need a master’s degree with a background in the natural sciences. Hydrologists may need a license in some states. The average salary of a Hydrologist is $79,260. Salaries start from $49,040 and go up to $113,070.
