Processes studied under hydrology, the atlas's discipline for the movement, distribution and quality of surface and near-surface water. Includes The Hydrologic Cycle, the continuous movement of water between the atmosphere, land and ocean through evaporation, precipitation, runoff and infiltration that underlies every other water process in this atlas. Belongs here: a process whose primary discipline is the movement of water on and near the land surface. Does not belong here: a groundwater-specific process studied under hydrogeology (Hydrogeology), or an ocean water process (Oceanography).
