What kind of tools do hydrologist use?

Answer 1

It depends on the type of work being done. Surface water hydrologists may use various devices to monitor the level and/or flow of water, such as flumes, weirs, flow meters, staff gauges, and pressure transducer/data loggers. Groundwater hydrologists often use depth meters, pressure transducers/data loggers, pumps, bailers, flow meters, generators, compressors, and so on. Both will use a wide array of water chemistry tools (pH meters, dissolved oxygen meters, electrical conductivity/salinity meters, field chemistry screening kits, and so on).

Answer 2

Hydrologists use tools like flow meters, groundwater level recorders, water quality samplers, and GIS software to study and analyze water resources. They also use remote sensing technologies like satellites and drones to monitor water bodies from a distance.
