About the New Zealand Hydrological Society

The New Zealand Hydrological Society (NZHS) was founded in 1961 to further the science of hydrology and its application to the understanding and management of New Zealand’s water resources.

NZHS members are a mix of New Zealand and overseas individuals and subscribing organisations with an interest in water and its wise use. We are scientists, technicians, consultants, hydrologists, engineers, biologists, climatologists, teachers, students, resource managers, policy makers, and others.
