While most books only examine the classical aspects of hydrology, the three-volume set covers multiple aspects of hydrology, and includes contributions from experts from more than 30 countries. It examines new approaches, addresses growing concerns about hydrological and ecological connectivity, and considers the worldwide impact of climate change.
It also provides updated material on hydrological science and engineering, discussing recent developments as well as classic approaches. Published in three books,
Fundamentals and Applications; Modeling, Climate Change, and Variability
; and
Environmental Hydrology and Water Management
, the entire set consists of 87 chapters, and contains 29 chapters in each book.
The chapters in this book contain information on:
Long-term generation of scheduling of hydro plants, check dam selection procedures in rainwater harvesting, and stochastic reservoir analysis
Ecohydrology for engineering harmony in the changing world, concepts, and plant water use
Conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water
Hydrologic and hydraulic design in green infrastructure
Data processing in hydrology, optimum hydrometric site selection and quality control, and homogenization of climatological series
Cold region hydrology, evapotranspiration, and water consumption
Modern flood prediction and warning systems, and satellite-based systems for flood monitoring and warning
Catchment water yield estimation, hydrograph analysis and base flow separation, and low flow hydrology
Sustainability in urban water systems and urban hydrology
Students, practitioners, policy makers, consultants and researchers can benefit from the use of this text.
