Well, that's my definition. If your problem concerns a detailed aspect of water chemistry, soil properties, ecological behaviour ... you may want to turn elsewhere. But if you think the problem might yield to a mix of hydrological horse-sense, mathematical or statistical skills, and lateral thinking, please do get in touch. An assignment in Estonia in Autumn 2002 called for an understanding of the importance of river flow measurement in the assessment of pollution loads. Because there are never as many data as we would wish, the ability to make connections without making assumptions is a great skill. While most of my consultancy experience has been in flood estimation of one kind or another, a wider interest in applied hydrology problem-solving persists from my time in the UK water industry. I retain a particular fascination for problems with an operational (e.g. forecasting or control) element. If you are you undertaking R&D in the application of generalised digital methods in hydrology, I would also be interested to hear from you.
