Hydrology is the science that treats the waters of the earth, their occurrence, circulation and distribution, their chemical and physical properties, and their reaction with their environment, including their relation to living things. The domain of hydrology embraces the full life history of water on the earth. April 14, 2011. Hortonian Flow. Sheet flow described by Horton in 1930s. When . i. <. f. , all . i. is absorbed .
