  • Hydrology vs hydraulics: What’s the difference?

    Hydrology studies how water enters a system (rainfall and runoff), while hydraulics focuses on how water moves through that system (flow, velocity, flooding). The difference is very important when modeling. Hydrology and hydraulics are often used interchangeably — but they solve very different parts of the same problem: In short: In other words, hydrology defines…
