DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HYDROLOGY and HYDRAULICS
HYDROLOGY It is the science that deals with the occurrence, circulation and distribution of water of the earth and the earth’s atmosphere. It is concerned with the water in streams and lakes, rainfall and snowfall, snow and ice on the land and water occurring below the earth’s surface in the pores of the soil and rocks.
3 states of water Liquid Gas Solid HYDROLOGY
Hydrology is sometimes classified as: SCIENTIFIC HYDROLOGY - It is the study which concerned chiefly with academic aspects. HYDROLOGY 2. ENGINEERING / APPLIED HYDROLOGY - It is a study concerned with engineering applications.
HYDROLOGY VS HYDRAULICS HYDROLOGY - The study or science of transforming rainfall amount into quantity of runoff. HYDROLOGY HYDRAULICS - The study or science of the motion of liquids in relation to disciplines such as fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics. DURA
THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE and HUMAN IMPACT ACE & ALVAR
It is the central focus of hydrology. Journey of water from the ocean to atmosphere and back to the earth and ultimately to the ocean through the processes of evaporation, precipitation, percolation, runoff and return to the ocean. HYDROLOGIC CYCLE
TRANSPORTATION COMPONENTS HYDROLOGIC CYCLE EVAPORATION Physical process by which water is vaporized into the atmosphere from free water surface and land areas. CONDENSATION It is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse action of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor. PRECIPITATION Includes rain, snow and other forms of water falling from the atmosphere into the land and oceans. TRANSPIRATION Water from the soil is absorbed by plant roots and eventually discharged into the atmosphere through little pores in the leaves called stomata.
TRANSPORTATION COMPONENTS HYDROLOGIC CYCLE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION Combined process by which water is transferred to the atmosphere from open water surfaces and vegetation. INFILTRATION Movement of water from the land surface to the upper layers of the soil. PERCOLATION Movement of water through the subsurface down to the water table. OVERLAND FLOW Portion of runoff that travels over the surface to the upper layers of the soil.
TRANSPORTATION COMPONENTS HYDROLOGIC CYCLE SURFACE RUNOFF Includes all overland flow as well as precipitation falling directly onto stream channels.
Humans directly change the dynamics of water cycle through direct manipulation. HUMAN IMPACT ON HYDROLOGICAL CYLCE DIRECTLY INDIRECTLY Humans indirectly impact the water cycle through the actions that contribute to global warming.

INTERRELATIONSHIPS OF PHASES OF THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE: EVAPOTRANSPIRATION It is the process in which a liquid changes to the gaseous state at the free surface, below the boiling point through the transfer of heat energy. EVAPORATION TRANSPIRATION It is the process by which water leaves the body of a living plant and reaches the atmosphere as water vapor.

PHILLIPINE WATERSHEDS: DELINEATION of DRAINAGE AREA, SUB – BASING or PHYSICAL PROPERTIES DETERMINATION LINGO, IANA & JELAY
WATERSHED It is defined as any surface area from which runoff resulting from rainfall is collected and drained through a common point. It is synonymous with drainage basin or catchment area. In short, a watershed is an area of land where all of the water that is under it, or drains off of it collects into the same place (e.g.) The River. LINGO,
WATERSHED
Parts of WATERSHED Precipitation headwater groundwater estuary distributaries Flood plain Ridgeline / watershed divide tributary
Precipitation headwater tributary - water that falls to the earth as rain and snow that flows into streams and is absorbed into the ground for plants to take up in their roots. - are the places where streams begin, usually the highest point. - small streams flow into one another to make larger streams. Larger streams join to form rivers.
Parts of WATERSHED Precipitation headwater groundwater estuary distributaries Flood plain Ridgeline / watershed divide tributary
Ridgeline / watershed divide Flood plain - is the top edge of the mountain that divides one watershed from another. - border areas on each side of a river, which allows water to spill out / overflow at times of high flow.
Parts of WATERSHED Precipitation headwater groundwater estuary distributaries Flood plain Ridgeline / watershed divide tributary
distributaries estuary groundwater - a stream or river that branch off of the main or parent river. - is the area where the river meets the ocean. Fresh water from the river and salt water from the ocean mix here. - water that is located beneath the surface of the earth in pores in the soil.
WATERSHEDS in the PHILIPPINES The Philippines has 412 principal river basins in 119 proclaimed watersheds. Of these, 19 are considered major river basins. There are also 11 watersheds reservations in the Philippines that supports power generation which are located in the Northern and Southern Luzon and Mindanao. Main Function of a Watershed It is the production of a continuous water supply that would maintain the lifeforms within it and in the area fed by its stream, IANA
Examples of WATERSHED in the PHILIPPINES PANTABANGAN – CARRANGLAN – it is the 3 rd largest watershed in the Philippines. located in the upper reaches of Pampanga River in Nueva Ecija borders the Sierra Madre & Caraballo Mountain in Aurora and Nueva Ecija 84, 500 hectares area of the watershed surrounding the Pantabangan Lake, an impoundment of Pampanga River by the Pantabangan Dam.
Examples of WATERSHED in the PHILIPPINES LAKE LANAO WATERSHED Consists of the Lake Lanao Watershed and Lanao Del Sur portion of the Agus River Watershed Top 1 largest watershed in the Philippines Located in the Province of Lanao del Sur of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao 180, 460 hectares area of watershed
Watershed delineation is the process of identifying the boundary of a watershed, also referred to as catchment, drainage basin, or river basin. Drainage area of a watershed is considered the most important parameter of it. It reflects the volume of water that can be generated from rainfall and that is available for runoff. DELINEATION OF A DRAINAGE AREA
Locate the river, lake, stream, wetland, or other waterbodies of interest. Trace the watercourse from its mouth, including the tributaries. Examine the brown lines on the topographic map that are near the watercourse. Contour lines spaced very close together indicate dramatic changes. Check the slope of the landscape by locating two adjacent contour lines and determine their respective elevations. Mark the Break Points surrounding the waterbody and determine the direction of drainage in the area. Connect the break points with a line following the highest elevations in the area. Creating a boundary that represents the contributing area for a particular control point or outlet. WATERSHED DELINEATION STEPS
DEM Bases (Automatic Delineation) DELINEATION METHODS Manual Delineation
Sub – basin is a structural geologic feature where a basin forms within a larger basin. It is sometimes spelled “sub basin” . It is basically a smaller watershed that makes up a piece of the large watershed. SUB-BASING or PHYSICAL PROPERTIES DETERMINATION JELAY
The description of watershed in terms of area, slope, shape, drainage density, aspect, relief, land use and soil characteristics, etc.. The physical properties of a watershed influence to a large degree of its hydrological responses and especially the flow regime during floods and periods of drought. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF A WATERSHED
WATERSHED AREA – is defined as the area contained within the vertical projection of the drainage divide on a horizontal plane. It determines the quantity of rainfall received, retained, and disposed off (runoff). PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF A WATERSHED Sub – components: Stream areas – are those areas that would constitute the area draining to a predetermined point in the stream or outlet. Inter – basin areas – are the surface elements contributing floe directly to streams of order higher than 1. WATERSHED SHAPE Watershed differ in their shape based on morphometric parameters. Its either square, rectangle, triangle, oval, etc.. A frequently occurring shape is a pear shape in plain view.
DRAINAGE DENSITY – the total length of all streams and rivers in a drainage basin divided by the total area of the drainage basin. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF A WATERSHED WATERSHED SLOPE – reflects the rate of change of elevation with respect to distance along the principal flow path. LAND USE – type of land use, its extent and management are the key factors, which affects watershed behavior. Judicious land use by users [human being] is of vital importance to watershed management and functioning.
