Earth is - 4,570,000,000 years old
Meteorites give us access to debris left over from the
formation of the solar system
We can date meteorites using radioactive isotopes and their

decay products

Hydrology
What is Hydrology?
Hydrology is the science that encompasses the
occurrence, distribution, movement and properties of
the waters of the earth and their relationship with the
environment within each phase of the hydrologic
cycle.
Application of Hydrology:
Hydrology is applied to major civil engineering
projects such as
• Irrigation schemes,
• Dams and Hydroelectric Power Projects, and
• Water Supply Projects.
Hydrological Cycle
The hydrological cycle acts like an enormous global pump that is driven mainly by two
forces; solar energy and gravitation pull. Humans have ingeniously utilized this global and
free pump to get irrigation water and to draw power from the enormous amount of energy
that this cycle represents.

Scope of Hydrology:
The study of hydrology helps us to know
1. the maximum probable flood that may occur at a given
site and its frequency; this is required for the safe design
of drains and culverts, dams and reservoirs, channels and
other flood control structures.
2. the water yield from a basin —its occurrence, quantity
and frequency, etc; this is necessary for the design of
dams, municipal water supply, water power, river
navigation, etc.
3. the ground water development for which a knowledge
of the hydrogeology of the area, i.e., of the formation soil,
recharge facilities like streams and reservoirs, rainfall
pattern, climate, cropping pattern, etc. are required.
4. the maximum intensity of storm and its frequency for
the design of a drainage project in the basin
Components of the Hydrologic Cycle :
1. Precipitation: Includes rain, snow and other forms of water falling from
the atmosphere into the land & oceans.
2. Evaporation: Physical process by which water is vaporized into the
atmosphere from free water surface and land areas.
3. Transpiration: Water from the soil is absorbed by plant roots and
eventually discharged into the atmosphere through little pores in the
leaves called stomata.
4. Evapotranspiration: Combined processes by which water is transferred
to the atmosphere from open water surfaces and vegetation.
5. Infiltration: Movement of water from the land surface to the upper
layers of the soil.
6. Percolation: Movement of water through the subsurface down to the
water table.
7. Overland flow: Portion of runoff that travels over the surface of the
ground to reach a stream channel
8. Surface runoff: Includes all overland flow as well as precipitation falling
directly onto stream channels.
9. Drizzle: a light steady rain in fine drops (0.5 mm) and intensity
<1 mm/hr
10. Rain: the condensed water vapour of the atmosphere falling in
drops (>0.5 mm, maximum size—6 mm) from the clouds.
11. Glaze: freezing of drizzle or rain when they come in contact with
cold objects.
12. Sleet: frozen rain drops while falling through air at subfreezing
temperature.
13. Snow: ice crystals resulting from sublimation (i.e., water vapour
condenses to ice)
14. Hail: small lumps of ice (>5 mm in diameter) formed by alternate
freezing and melting, when they are carried up and down in
highly turbulent air currents.
15. Dew: moisture condensed from the atmosphere in small drops
upon cool surfaces.
16. Frost: a feathery deposit of ice formed on the ground or on the
surface of exposed objects by dew
17. Fog: a thin cloud of varying size formed at the surface of the
earth by condensation of atmospheric vapour.
18. Mist: a very thin fog
