Hydrologist conducts research on the distribution, movement, and physical properties of surface and underground water. They analyse water cycles, assess water availability and flood risks, and manage water resources to support environmental sustainability and safe water supply. Their work involves field investigations, data collection, hydrological modelling, and providing advice on water management, pollution control, and regulatory compliance.

Tasks

Conduct hydrological surveys and field investigations to assess surface water and groundwater systems.

Collect and analyse hydrological and water quality data from surface water and groundwater sources.

Model surface water and groundwater flow, including flood and water availability scenarios.

Advise government agencies, private sector organisations, and stakeholders on water resource management, water availability, flood risks, and pollution control.

Install and monitor water quality and flow measurement instruments.

Prepare technical reports, maps, visualisations, and assessments to support water resource planning, environmental sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

Assess hydrological findings against water regulations, environmental standards, and sustainability requirements.
