Résumé :
|
This introduction to hydrology is essentially practical, emphasizing the application of hydrological knowledge to the solution of engineering problems. The subject is set in a global context ; hydrological extremes are necessarily taken from worldwide situations and examples of major engineering applications from many countries are cited. The arrangement of material is different from that of any comparable text : hydrological processes, with emphasis on methods of measurement, are separated from analytical techniques and the book culminates in a selection of civil engineering spheres of operation requiring hydrologial expertise, demonstrating some of the established methods and some of the new techniques applied in current practice. In the new edition extensive, detailed updating has been carried out and there is new material on instrumentation, climatic change, catchment parameters and flood studies. There are also extensive references to current hydrological software products.
