Hydrology

Study of water and its properties, including its distribution and movement in and through the land areas of the earth.

The hydrologic cycle consists of the passage of water from the oceans into the atmosphere; onto, through, and under the lands; and back to the ocean.

Hydrology is mainly concerned with the part of the cycle that follows the precipitation of water onto the land and precedes its return to the oceans.
