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.

How to calculate Water Quality Index considering the source type,intended use and climate ?

This WQI's primary innovation is that it calculates the WQI based on the type of source from which water is collected, the WQI's intended use, and the local climate at the time the samples were retrieved. The source or location from where the sample is collected has an impact on the quality of water which the index must incorporate at the time of calculation. The purpose for which the water quality index is calculated changes the weightage of the importance of the different quality parameters. For example, if WQI is calculated for knowing how drinkable the sample is then the weightage of coliform will increase compared to other parameters as the presence of coliform in the drinking water can not be permitted. The climate of the area from where the water is collected is another criterion to consider at the time of calculating the WQI. Based on the climate also the weightage of water quality parameters will vary. There will be a difference in the weight of importance if the sampl...

Five Most Extreme Hydrologic Events that changed the World

Typhoon Tip, Philipines(Collected from : CSMonitor ) Devastating storms, severe flood, acute famine conditions, etc. hydrological events of extreme nature has changed human history. Any event which is not normal is known as an abnormal event. In the case of hydrology, an event that has a return period of more than 100 years is considered Extreme. According to Herring(2020) of Climate.gov, "An extreme event is a time and place in which weather, climate, or environmental conditions—such as temperature, precipitation, drought, or flooding—rank above a threshold value near the upper or lower ends of the range of historical measurements." Though the threshold is not objective, few researchers have defined "extreme events as those that occur in the highest or lowest 5% or 10% of historical measurements". Some have described events by their deviation from the mean, or by their occurrence interval.   Here the most severe five extreme hydrologic events were discussed which ...

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...
