This paper by Sivapalan and Blöschl is accepted in journal of WRR, seems very demarcating the track of hydrology as a subject. I didn't read it yet, but will do soon. I believe, in addition to working on the dots of scientific discovery, which is really essential, connecting these dots and looking forward for providing solution for grand global challenges in hydrology is a key. It is also important that those experts working in the subject for decades provide guidance on the track and direction of researches agenda. As the Big bang Theory's (the TV series, not the real) Sheldon Cooper said it once, "I never said that you were not good at what you do. It's just that what you do is not important." So it is energy and time saving that seasoned scientists direct the early scientists what is worthwhile to spend money and time!!! Please find the paper here. And one more thing, now we are in the Co-evolution era where "big data" play a key role.
