Abstract: Water management has been human interest from ancient times, since water defined society development. Like most geosciences, hydrology made its roots in geography. It grew as a separate science discipline, dealing with water both on the surface and under the ground, trying to define occurences and processes linked with water. Hydrology presents its results through various predefined tools. One of those tools, which is the most logical and the easiest to understand is cartographic represtentation. Cartographic represtentation enables not only direct and clear presentation of obtained data, but also easily opens new fields and creates new ideas for further research. Maps derived from hydrological studies are by themselves a good ground for research too. By looking at the connections between these fields, it can clearly be seen that there is plenty space for work in research. This especially comes into sight when we appreciate applications of cartographic methods and possibilities of spatial, temporal and essential definition of hydrological properties of observed space.
Key words: cartography, hydrology, cartographic method, cartographic expression tools
