In the 20th century, the quantitative description of the earth's waters has involved an increasing variety of measurements at a growing number of localities. These basic data include the intensity and duration of rainfall, the accumulation of snow, the height and discharge of streams, the levels and contents of lakes and reservoirs, the composition of dissolved solids and of sediments in water, and the evaporation rate from reservoirs. The analysis and interpretation of these data constitute what is called applied hydrology. 3, record 1, English, - applied%20hydrology
