La geomática involucra varias ciencias de la tierra, es decir, ciencias que manejan datos geográficos georreferenciados, los cuales son necesarios tanto en los campos académico y profesional como en el campo laboral, donde se desarrollan aplicaciones de diversa índole.
Este libro aborda el marco histórico desde el cual se va generando la hidrología como una ciencia, que luego se enfoca hacia la ingeniería forestal; asimismo, se el proceso de precipitación y cómo se producen las lluvias, los procesos y condiciones que se deben dar, los aparatos para su medición, el estudio de las gráficas para el análisis de las lluvias, sus distribuciones de probabilidad y la aplicación de estas en el diseño de canales de drenaje y el estudio de las variaciones espaciales de la precipitación.
La presente publicación está orientada a la comprensión de los principios fundamentales de la hidrología, y ofrece algunas herramientas prácticas que han sido aplicadas con éxito en la solución de problemas que se presentan en los fenómenos hidrológicos.
Para el análisis de la información, la hidrología utiliza los conceptos de probabilidades y estadística, siendo este campo una de las primeras áreas de la ciencia e ingeniería en usar los conceptos estadísticos, en un esfuerzo para analizar los fenómenos naturales.
