Description
Summary:Hydrology in Practice, Second edition, is a comprehensive introduction to hydrology for undergraduate students of civil engineering, environmental science and geography. It is essentially practical and emphasizes the application of hydrological knowledge to engineering problems. The subject is necessarily set in a global context with more African and Far Eastern examples now included. The arrangement of material is different from that found in other texts since the discussion of hydrological processes is separated from analytical techniques and many new worked examples have been added throughout. There is increased reference to the use of microcomputers and software packages and the final section of the book deals with a range of civil engineering problems that require hydrological expertise, demonstrating the new and established techniques of current practice.
