A Hydrogeologist is a specialist scientist in the environmental industry, primarily focused on the study and management of water in the earth's crust. These professionals utilize their knowledge of geology and hydrology to solve issues relating to water quality and availability. Their responsibilities typically include assessing water resources, predicting the movement of water in underground aquifers, monitoring the impact of environmental changes on water systems, and devising strategies for sustainable water management. They often work on projects related to water supply, wastewater treatment, irrigation, flood prediction, and environmental conservation.
