Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists
In interdisciplinary applications of stream hydrology, biologists and engineers interact in the solution of a
number of problems such as the rehabilitation of streams, the design of operating procedures and fishways for dams, the classification of streams for environmental values and the simulation of field hydraulic characteristics in laboratory flumes to study flow patterns around obstacles and organisms. One of the main purposes in writing this book was to help improve communication between the two disciplines and foster a sense of co-operation in these interdisciplinary efforts.
On the surface, the definitions of ecology and hydrology sound very similar: ecology is the study of the interrelationships between organisms and their environment and with each other, and hydrology is the study of
the interrelationships and interactions between water and its environment in the hydrological cycle. In general, ecology is a more descriptive and experimental science and hydrology is more predictive and analytical. This fundamental difference influences the way streams are studied and perceived in the two disciplines.
