hydrologist

Studies water systems

A hydrologist is a scientist who studies water—its distribution, movement, and properties across the Earth.

Hydrologists examine rivers, groundwater, rainfall, and glaciers, often focusing on water supply, flood prediction, or pollution.

The hydrologist warned that the aquifer was being depleted faster than it could recharge.
