relationship between hydrology and geomorphology
The
landscape and the terrain chracterises,besies geology,are closely
related to occurence,availability,quality and utilization of the
usable water for diferent puroses by man from different ouces,eg.:-
surface wtare,ground water etc.there is direct relationship betwen
limestone reas also helps in digging of dug wells.If the limestons
have enough porosity and are capped by sand stones layers,there is
every posibilty for rich ground water reserves and the water is also
naurally filtered while passing through the sand stone beds and hence
this groundwater will be free from pollutants.
Limestone
areas are'nt suitable for dam or reservoir construction because it
requires a lot of expensive engineering work.The geomorphological history
of the glaciated landscape ,characterizes of different types of
glacial deposits and landform characteristics help in searching and
determining the interglacial valleys under the surficial ground
material provide large and rich ground water reserves.This situation
of buried periglacial valleys may be known only through
geomorphological study of the concerned area ie.,denuation chronology
and geomorphologic history of the concerned area.
In
conclusion it can be stated that geomorphology and hydrology are so
interdependent and so intricately interrelated that it would be a
rime to consider any one of the two separate from other or supirior
to one another.
