Σύνοψη	Hydrogeological survey is the systematic characterization of groundwater systems, including aquifer geometry, water quality, flow paths, and recharge-discharge dynamics. Rooted in Darcy's law (1856) and quantified by Theis (1935), this method is essential for water resource management, contaminant remediation, and hazard assessment. Modern surveys integrate geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and numerical modeling to understand complex subsurface flow systems.	Stratigraphic correlation is the practice of identifying equivalent rock layers or chronostratigraphic units across space by tracing physical or chemical signatures. Rooted in 19th-century work on Alpine glacial sequences, this method was formalized in the 20th century by geologists like Vail who unified global sea-level change with depositional sequences. Correlation is foundational to basin-scale understanding of sediment transport, resource distribution, and paleoenvironmental change.
