Abstract
The varying use of hydrogeological and water management terms, particularly in older literature, makes it necessary to standardize these terms to ensure clear understanding. With regard to this, in Germany, they published the first edition of DIN 4049-1 in 1944 and is now in its fourth edition, published in three parts:
-
Hydrological basic terms with sections on, for example, metrology/models and statistics.
-
Hydrological terms relating to the characteristics of groundwater with sections on: general, physical, chemical, ecological and limnological terms as well as terms for sampling and evaluation.
-
Terms relating to quantitative hydrology with sections on Precipitation/Water Budget, Surface Waters and Subsurface Waters
