I'm nigh certain that not all hydrology is salt-water hydrology. Is there a reason it was filed under oceanography? --Aguido Horatio Davis 06:49, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

A number of sources suggest that it is. It is not written in stone though, Should we make it a separate discipline or a subdiscipline of another discipline? The work is in progress, which is true of all these article. Let me know what we need to do with it. Thomas Simmons 13:42, 12 April, 2007 (EPT)

Future development

At some point, as the articles for the subcategories are written, the myriad subdivisions should be relegated to internal links to those articles and the subject herein developed more along the lines of the Biology article. At this point, however, this article serves as an introduction and outline to the subject to let the reader know what the topic basically encompasses and authors will be able to develop a cohesive collection of related articles from a coherent outline.
