Fundamentals of hydrology

In order to manage the world's increasingly scarce water resources, we must have a sound understanding of how water moves around the planet and what influences water quality. This work provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject. This new edition gives an understanding of hydrological processes, knowledge of the techniques used to assess water resources and an up-to-date overview of water resource management in a changing world. Throughout the text, wide-ranging examples and case studies are used to clearly explain ideas and methods.
