3 Hydrology means - The scientific study of the properties, distribution, and effects of water on the earth's surface, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere. Hydrologists study processes like rainfall, run-off, evaporation, river flows (floods and droughts), erosion and water pollution. They may work in environmental protection: preventing or cleaning up pollution or locating sites for safe disposal of hazardous wastes..

4 hydrogeologists (groundwater). Some hydrologists specialize in certain parts of the hydrologic cycle: limnologists (lakes) oceanographers (oceans) hydrometeorologists (atmosphere) glaciologists (glaciers) geomorphologists (landforms) geochemists (groundwater quality)

5 Essential: A degree or diploma in hydrology,engineering, statistics, Agricultural Science soil physics, hydrology, geology, or related field. Desirable: additional formal-postgraduate qualifications to Ph. D. level. Four years relevant post graduate experience. Personal Qualities requested: perseverance, good observation, able to work independently, good communication skills, able to prepare accurate records and reports
