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.
