2.2 Hydrology and Hydraulics

This presentation was initially given in person on June 20, 2019 as part of the Module 2: “Water Quality Basics” of the Kentucky Watershed Academy and was subsequently recorded.

In this episode, Steve Evans of the Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute defines hydrology and hydraulics separately but discusses these concepts jointly. Vertical, horizontal, lateral, and temporal dimensions of the stream are discussed in turn. Concepts including evapotransporation, soil infiltration, groundwater movement and runoff, longitudinal zones, stream ordering, and reading stream hydrographs are overviewed.

Here I was trying to study for hydrogeology and heard the guy's cat meow at 24:10.
