Stoplogs (Hydrology 💧)

Stoplogs are hydraulic engineering control elements that are used in floodgates to adjust the water level or discharge in a river, canal, or reservoir. Stoplogs are designed to cut off or stop flow through a conduit. They are typically long rectangular timber beams or boards that are placed on top of each other and dropped into premade slots inside a weir, gate, or channel. Present day,...

Head (hydrology) (Hydrology 💧)

In hydrology, the head is the point on a watercourse up to which it has been artificially broadened and/or raised by an impoundment. Above the head of the reservoir natural conditions prevail; below it the water level above the riverbed has been raised by the impoundment and its flow rate reduced, unless and until banks, barrages, weir sluices or dams are overcome, whereby a...

Drawdown (hydrology) (Hydrology 💧)

In hydrology, there are two similar but distinct definitions in use for the word drawdown: In subsurface hydrogeology, drawdown is the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer, typically due to pumping a well as part of an aquifer test or well test. In surface water hydrology and civil engineering, drawdown refers...

Surface-water hydrology (Hydrology 💧)

Surface-water hydrology is the sub-field of hydrology concerned with above-earth water, in contrast to groundwater hydrology that deals with water below the surface of the Earth. Its applications include rainfall and runoff, the routes that surface water takes, and the occurrence of floods and droughts. Surface-water hydrology is used to predic...

Ancient Egyptians were skilled hydraulic engineers. They built canals, dams, and reservoirs to control the flow of the Nile and irrigate their crops. They also used water as a power source, such as for lifting heavy stones. Ancient Egyptians harnessed the power of water to create a civilization.
