May 3, 2022 · Examination of a formative period in the growth of hydrology during the 1960s and early 1970s in the UK has demonstrated the influence of a network of scientists determined to foster investigations into the causes of hydrological phenomena.
May 3, 2022 · The mid-1960s to early 1970s were a formative stage in hydrology in the UK. This was a period of a major increase in government funding for science.

Dec 27, 2023 · The decade of the 1960s witnessed the birth of computer revolution and hydrologic modeling took a giant leap forward. The computer provided the power for doing computations that was not available before. As a result, a new branch of hydrology, called digital or numerical hydrology, was born.
Dec 21, 2020 · In his book about flow systems, Tóth (2009) states that since the 1960s, hydrogeology's basic paradigm has shifted from confined flow in aquifers (aquitard-bound flow) to cross-formational flow in drainage basins, i.e., flow paths change from through a confined aquifer to across aquitards and different depths of aquifers in heterogeneous basins.

Of direct relevance to hydrology was the establishment in 1961 of a “Commission for Hydrometeorology”, soon to be renamed the “Commission for Hydrology”. In 1965, a major programme was launched by UNESCO as the International Hydrological Decade (IHD), one of the three “fathers” being Tison.

The concept of hydrology was described in both the old Greek (e.g. Aristotle) and Roman (e.g. Marcus Vitruvius) cultures, where impressive water engineering projects were developed, such as aqueducts and bridges.
