The Hydrologic Sciences Award is for Outstanding contribution(s) to the science of hydrology. All contributions made over a career can be considered but more weight should be given to the last five years. Note that winners of the Union Horton Medal are listed under union awards.
In 1998, the Horton Award of the Hydrology Section was renamed the Hydrology Section Award to avoid confusion with the Horton Medal awarded by the Union. In 2000, the award was renamed the Hydrology Award. It has subsequently been renamed the Hydrolgic Sciences Award (2005).The list of historical recipients is available on-line, historical Hydrogic Sciences Award recipients.
In 2008, Desmond E. Walling was the recipient.
