List geological factors for formation of different hydrological condition.

The determination of hydrological condition focuses on the analysis of the factors that most directly influence changes in flow, quality, or timing of water in a specific watershed of interest. Some general geological factors are:

  1. Geotechnical properties of soil like porosity, permeability etc.

  2. Geological structures such as folds, faults, joints etc

  3. Permafrost in snow-covered zones.

  4. Coarse sediments such as gravel, pebbles, cobbles and boulders.

  5. River channel morphology
