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...

Seven Most Tenable Application of Artificial Intelligence on Water Resource Management Problems

AI or Artificial Intelligence is a pioneering technique that has enabled the creation of intelligent machines. or smart machines which have the power to self adapt based on the situation presented to them. It requires situations whose response is known and based on this training data set it learns the problems which it has to solve when it is ready. Due to the alarming success with AI in robotics, electronics, etc fields the same technique is now used to solve the problems of water resource management. This ppt shows the seven most notable use of AI in water resources-based problems where satisfactory improvement has encouraged the further application of the technique.

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 ...
