Hydrology in Practice

This fourth edition of Hydrology in Practice, while retaining the successful qualities of its predecessor, replaces the material on the Flood Studies Report with an equivalent section on the methods of the Flood Estimation Handbook. Other completely revised sections on instrumentation and modelling reflect the many changes that have occurred over recent years. This edition also draws on the expertise of Keith J. Beven and Nick A. Chappell, who have extensive experience in field hydrological studies in a variety of different environments and have taught undergraduate hydrology courses for many years. Topical case studies further enhance the text.

Informationen zum Autor Elizabeth M. Shaw is now retired but has worked as a lecturer at universities in the UK and Australia, as well as having practised as a hydrologist. Keith J. Beven and Nick A. Chappell are in the Lancaster Environment Centre at the University of Lancaster, UK. Rob Lamb is a consultant with JBA Consulting. Klappentext 4th edition. Zusammenfassung An introductory text for engineering hydrology students who go on to be practitioners in consultancies, the Environment Agency and elsewhere. It is suitable for second and final year undergraduates (and MSc) students of hydrology in Engineering, Environmental Science and Geography Departments across the globe. Inhaltsverzeichnis The Hydrological Cycle, Hydrometeorology and Climate. Hydrological Measurements: Hydrometric Networks and Data-Logging. Precipitation. Evapotranspiration. Infiltration, Moisture and Groundwater. Hillslope Runoff Processes. River Flow. Water Quality. Hydrological Analysis and Modelling: Precipitation Analysis. Evapotranspiration Calculations.
