Hydrology Research
Hydrology Research
(HRj) is the official journal of the British Hydrological
Society, run in partnership with the Nordic Association for
Hydrology (NHF) and published by IWAP. HRj publishes articles
within all fields of hydrology in its widest sense. While
emphasis is placed on studies of the hydrological cycle, the
Journal also covers the physics and chemistry of water. Hydrology
Research is intended to be a link between the basic hydrological
research and the practical application of scientific results
within the broad field of water management. There are six
issues a year.
The Editor for BHS is Ian
Littlewood.
Subscription: Personal subscriptions for BHS members are
£76 (online) or £99 (print).
Sources of hydrological data
If you are looking for useful sources of data, the list

Careers in hydrology
If you’re interested in a career in hydrology, this
guide
introduces many of the opportunities and career paths available,
revised and updated in 2004. See also our list of hydrological
employment opportunities
– the list is not exhaustive, but provides some pointers
for those seeking employment. Please contact the web
administrator if you would like to suggest additions to
this list.
Situations

To advertise a vacancy, please send the details by email to
the Hon. Editor
(preferably set out as you want it to appear, in a Word or
PDF file), with a closing date within 3 months. The charge
is 100 pounds per advert.
Disclaimer: Inclusion
does not imply any endorsement by BHS of the organisations
listed, nor the accuracy of any information included.
Chronology of British Hydrological Events
This web
resource was launched by the Society in 1998 and in 2007
has over 8450 records of significant hydrological events in
its database. It covers floods and droughts, surface and groundwaters,
and is searchable by hydrometric area, date, keyword or more.
It has been heavily used as a source of information by hydrologists
seeking to identify records of historic floods which help
to guide contemporary flood risk estimation. The chronology
does not claim to be exhaustive, but seeks to point users
towards useful sources of further information, and always
welcomes new contributions from those with an interest in
past hydrological events.
Education and training
The Society attracts members with a variety of different backgrounds
including engineers,
environmental and meteorological scientists and geographers
and geologists. There is no single specific route for
hydrologists to achieve professional, or Chartered status.
However, a number of Chartered qualifications are possible,
including CEng, CEnv, CSci or MCIWEM qualifications, or alternatively
CMet, CGeog or CIWO. A draft guide to professional qualifications
available to hydrologists was launched during the National
Symposium in Exeter in September 2008, and this pdf
document is available here.
Some hydrologists working in hydro-meteorology may be eligible
for admission by the Royal Meteorology Society (RMS) as Chartered
Meteorologists: see the RMS
website for further information. Members interested in
this issue should contact the President, Frank
Farquharson.
Journals
BHS produces the international journal, Hydrology
Research in conjunction with the Nordic Hydrology
Association.
Members may also be interested in other
peer-reviewed journals that publish papers on hydrology
and related subjects.
