Hydrology
Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water.
A few examples of forensic hydrology:
- Flooding
- Determination of the legal boundaries of lakes, usually at the ordinary high water mark
- Contamination
- Storm water pump station failures
- Limits of state ownership of lakes and streams
- Long-term changes in lake and stream levels
- Navigability determination
- HEC-RAS computer analyses of streams
- Drainage failures and inadequacies
- Legal boundaries of complex natural lakes
- Environmental zones surrounding lakes
- Re-establishment of old lake or stream stages
