Top Three Places to look for openings in hydrology




Top three places to find hydrology jobs

Hydrology is a contemporary and dynamic topic of research. This area of research is always expanding its scope and from the days of measuring discharge to the application of GIS in monitoring and regulating the flow for better management of the resource, this area of research has endured a lot of developments. The very interdisciplinary nature of this topic makes it more interesting and attractive to any young researcher who has a desire to innovate and the agility to implement his/her innovation.

In recent years due to the change in climate and global ecosystem, water is becoming scarce and competition to consume the same has been stupendous. That is why the management of this resource that also in an optimal manner is a need of the hour which requires a regular flow of learned person who has been trained to work in the challenging field of hydrology. As a consequence, this field requires manpower which is evident in the burgeoning demand for hydrologists all over the World and also in India.

From the historical literature related to India, it can be concluded that India is a "great manager of water resources". "In the 1st Century BC, the city of Sringaverapura near Allahabad, established a sophisticated water harvesting system, using the floodwaters of Ganga. Archaeological and historical records show that Indians were constructing dams, lakes, and irrigation systems in the time of Chandragupta Maurya (321-297 BD)". Chola King Karikala established the Grand Anicut crisscrossing the river Cauvery for irrigation which is still working. The largest artificial lake in India was built by King Bhoja of Bhopal. History of India shows that we have no dearth of talented hydrologists but in recent years due to the onset of the IT industry the country has lost many. As a result, now the demand for hydrologists is burgeoning but the quality of supply is diminishing.

However, if you are one of the budding hydrologists and looking for jobs to solve real-life problems and sustain your livelihood then you must look for the three places given below for openings in different water-based industries/institutes. If you have a desire to teach then also you have a huge prospect in different top-level higher education institutes in India that are desperately looking for fresh doctorates interested in Hydrology and related topics. And remember here discipline does not count. You may be a Civil Engg. or a Mechanical Engineer or an Electrical Engineer but if you have knowledge of hydrology you are in great demand as is evident from the constantly updated job vacancies posted in the areas as delineated below :

presently 103 openings
This is a portal for all kinds of jobs and opportunities. But this site also stores the latest information on jobs and scholarships in the field of Hydrology. In addition to Hydrology, this site is regularly updated with opportunities from the field of GIS, environment, water treatment, etc. related fields.

33 openings
Adjuna Jobs is like an aggregator of jobs including hydrology jobs. It retrieves related opportunities from a topic when the topic is searched in its search engine. But this site always provides relevant results and its bots crawl the entire job details before showing the results. For a regular and updated list of hydrology jobs, this site can be trusted.

2 openings
This is another site to find openings in not only hydrology but also in GIS, water resource management, groundwater, hydropower etc related fields. But this place is not as updated as the previous two locations.

At the time of identification of the above three places the following factors were considered :
a)Relevancy of Results on searching for the keyword Hydrology
b)Number of Results ....................-do-...............
c)Frequency of Updates (whether posted within 3 days or 7 days or more)

You may do the same including more factors relevant to your job search by accessing the tool as given below : ODM.

Eight most common impurities observed in water supplied to domestic households

The water supplied to domestic households has many types of contaminants which have the potential to create health irregularities in the consumer family. Among these contaminants, eight most common impurities were identified, and the type of filter which can remove or reduce them was delineated in the figure. Before procuring a water filter remember to see this chart. It will help to understand the impurities that the selected water filter can remove. Any water filters available in the market are generally made of one or more of these filters. To decide wisely use the concepts of MCDM to select your filters. Compare the filters available in the market with respect to Cost, Contaminant Removal Efficiency, Maintenance requirement, and type of filters used and rate each filter based on these factors with the help of AHP or ANP techniques. The result will be the filter that will be most efficient for your use. You can also use the ODM tool to come to a decision regarding the procurement o...

Five open source free hydrologic models that you can use to model runoff of micro to macro watersheds

The principal objective of hydrologic models is to forecast the runoff of a surface water body, especially dendritic systems like rivers, streams, etc. The inputs to these models are generally Rainfall/Precipitation, Soil Characteristics, and other Climatic parameters like evapotranspiration, humidity, etc. LULC and geo-morphology are also used as the required input parameters of the hydrologic models. Both input and output of these models are temporally as well as spatially variable. Now the resolution varies with different models. Some models consider all the sub-basins to be a single watershed and determine the output based on the characteristics of this single watershed(lumped).In contrast, some other models will consider the {impact|effect} of each of the sub-basins on the central outflow of the watershed(distributed).In a few models, the entire watershed is divided into grids or units of uniform dimension. However, the accuracy is highest for the models, which considers the {impa...
