Abstract

For the last 50 years, water resources geography has been studied as a distinct discipline of geography. At first, it was seen as a study of the hydrosphere, which covered not just sea water but also groundwater. As a crucial link in the hydrological cycle, the amount of water in the atmosphere was later included in Water Resources Geography after research in climatic and meteorological data. Along with water distribution and flow, human usage was also considered.
