About the CGU Hydrology Section

Established in 1993, the CGU-HS brings together scientists from all branches of hydrology. Its aims and objectives are to:

• Promote hydrology as a geophysical science,
• Advance the understanding and application of hydrology and related sciences,
• Initiate and participate in research and education programs in hydrology, promote national and international cooperation among scientific and engineering organizations working in hydrology, and
• Disseminate research results and knowledge to the public through scientific discussion, meetings and conferences, publications and other means of information and technology transfer.

 The CGU-Hydrology Section also awards an annual student prize, the "D.M. Gray Student Paper Award in Hydrology". Details can be obtained through the CGU-HS secretariat .

The Hydrology Section also acts as the umbrella organization for the CGU-HS IAHS Nominating Committee.
