Water Resources and Systems Approach Quiz

The purpose is to understand and address the influence of the global hydrological cycle on local scale processes.

A Hydrologic System is a structure or volume in space, surrounded by a boundary that accepts water and other inputs, operates on them internally, and produces them as outputs.

The different spatial scales considered are country, state, district, taluka, or watershed.
