Allereerst regenmetingen waarin puntmetingen en oppervlaktemetingen worden behandeld. Daarna verdamping waarin de verschillende types verdamping en metingen daaraan worden behandeld. Als derde en vierde komen respectievelijk grondwater in de onverzadigde zone en grondwater in de verzadigde aan bod. Als laatst wordt aandacht besteed aan verschillende soorten debietmetingen.

The second chapter contains the hydrological cycle and the water balance. It discusses measurements in different parts of the hydrological cycle. First rain measurements are discussed, the point observations and areal observations. The second part is about evaporation, in this part the different types of evaporation and different measurements are discussed.
