Hey, I'm a first year student at the University of Minnesota. I want to work in environmental conservation/remediation (especially with wetlands), but I'm not a particular fan of biology, so I figured hydrology would be the next best thing to study in order to get into the conservation field. I was wondering if actual hydrologists (such as yourselves) would agree with that? Is hydrology a good major/job for environmental conservation, or is it more common to work for something like development? is getting a job in conservation doable? Any feedback or advice is so welcome! (btw, I totally like ..read more

I do bathymetric surveying and terrain modeling of streams for various purposes. From my perspective, there are two types of channel surveys. The cross section method, and the 5- point survey method. Cross section method is what you may be used to; multiple cross sections are surveyed and coupled with a longitudinal profile. These are used to generate a terrain surface for modeling and depends on lots of interpolation between each cross section. The 5-point method is different. It focuses on surveying the 5 major breaklines that occur along the stream: the tops of banks, toes of banks, and th ..read more

Hello i hope you r doing well. Please help i am frustrated. So i am working on my end of studies project and it is about Dam break modeling. I have to do multiple simulations (at least 2) and then compare. I have done HecRas so far but i cant seem to find any other software that has dam breach in it. i tried ArcGIS pro, Flow3D but in vain. It is the first time for me to work on a dam break please help me i really appreciate it submitted by /u/Dismal_Net3210 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello everyone! I am currently working as a Hydrologist at a company. We need to install 6 water level sensors in a catchment (130 m to 600 m asl), along a stream which is around 15-16 km long from the source to the downstream border of the town. The stream flows further to meet a river, but we need to monitor the stream up to the town, which is usually affected by flash floods once or twice a year. We already have 5 sensor installed, out of which the most downstream station (A) is about 1.5 km upstream from the town border (this is where the town hall and schools lie), and the most upstream ..read more

I work with a consulting firm specializing in supporting utility scale solar projects through EPC processes. Recently, a client requested us to conduct field thermal conductivity testing in compliance with IEEE standards to ascertain the soil's conductivity at depths of 2' and 4', where underground AC voltage lines will be laid. Our project manager initially utilized his personal TEROS 12 meter for this purpose. However, encountering sandy/hardened clay on-site resulted in damage to the probes. Consequently, I've been tasked with sourcing an alternative solution. I'm seeking advice on a solut ..read more

I have a property that I’m interested in buying in Clayton County GA the very back corner of the lot is in a Zone X Flood Zone with a 0.2 chance of flooding. Is it possible for me to build on this lot? Would it require flood insurance? I spoke with my surveyor and he told me since it’s in a Zone X it doesn’t even have a BFE to be built on because it’s in a low risk area. Could someone give me some insight? submitted by /u/Orenthal32420 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
