Exploring Environmental Hydrology Understanding Earth\'s Water Systems
Author(s): Carlos Erazo Ramirez*
Water, the elixir of life, is a fundamental component of our planet. Its intricate dynamics and distribution play a crucial role in shaping ecosystems,
sustaining life, and influencing climate patterns. Environmental hydrology is the interdisciplinary science that delves into the intricate workings of
Earth's water systems, encompassing its movement, distribution, quality, and interactions with various environmental compartments. In this article,
we embark on a journey to unravel the complexities of environmental hydrology, aiming to deepen our understanding of how water shapes our
planet and sustains life. At the heart of environmental hydrology lies the water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle—a continuous process of
water movement between the atmosphere, land, and oceans. The cycle begins with the evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, and river.. Read More»
