Article Evaluation
The Hydrometeorology article is currently a "bare bones" article, only featuring one paragraph, and then a section afterwards. All the content in the article appears to be relevant, but as I said, there is not much to go off of. Clearly there needs to be more research on this topic and more sections added to this article. The edits are old, but there is not much factual information that could be out of date. The information is neutral, and it seems that only a few sources were used. There is no under represented or over represented information, as again, there is not much to go off of. The sources referenced do seem to be reliable, especially the UNESCO page. I will say, however, that the author really only talks about the basic concepts of hydrometeorology. That means I will have to design the entire page from basically scratch. Hopefully, I can add on some scientific sections, other details, and information relating to this topic. Overall, the sources seem general, and unbiased. Talk page only has a bot on it---not many people editing this article. In Summary, will have to do a great deal of research as to how hydrometeorology works, and from there I will have to structure the article based on the information I learn. Should look for information in library about topic to begin with.

Lead Section
Hydrometeorology is the combination of the fields of hydrology and meteorology, and the relationships that connect the two fields. Many times occur where meteorologists and hydrometeorologists and even work together in the same buildings and organizations in order to best achieve their goals.

Body
One of the larger pieces of hydrometeorology has to do with the prediction and attempt to mitigate the effects of high precipitation events. For example, urban hydrometeorology pertains to the factors that lead to flooding and the process of predicting flooding in urban areas. This process includes taking into account the size of the events, the distribution of rainfall within these events, and the space between rainfall events. From this, many different regional organizations have been developed to measure and study hydrometeorlogical events in their areas.

Another large piece of hydrometeorology has to do with research and development into the field. In Great Britain, for example, many recent changes and updates have occurred within its hydrometeorlogical systems. These changes were made in response to the 2007 floods, after it was recommended by the government to the hydrometeorlogical services. More scientific research also occurs in this field frequently. This includes work that reviews satellite data during high precipitation tropical events, and research into how moisture in the soil will affect temperatures on the earth's surface.
