Hydrology is a very old subject still; a lot of scopes are left in this subject which is hitherto unearthed. Below is the list of the five most promising topics of research that have steadily gained their presence in hydrology-related publications, in the last five years.

List of Most Promising Topics

◼ Building-induced rainfall redistribution(BIRR)

◼ Rainfall nowcasting

◼ Applications of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) in Hydrology

◼ Post-fire hydrology in forest

◼ Baseflow Signature Predictions

Building-induced rainfall redistribution(BIRR)

Microtopography due to the building roofs and rainfall redistribution due to the same has significant effect on urban hydrology and as a result, it also influences the accuracy of flood forecasting models.

Rainfall nowcast

Very Short Term ( 2 or less than 2-hour lead time) Rainfall forecasts (nowcasts) are useful in operational flood forecasting and the model which predict such storm is known as Rainfall Nowcasting models. Due to the high amount of variability development of accurate nowcast models are a challenging task.
