Beschreibung
While most books examine only the classical aspects of hydrology, this three-volume set covers multiple aspects of hydrology. 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:
Climate change and hydrological hazards, hydrological modeling, and urban water systems, as well as climate change impacts on hydrology and water resources, climate change uncertainty, vulnerability, and adaption
Rainfall estimation and changes, hydrological changes of mangrove ecosystems, impact of the development of vegetation on flow conditions and flood hazards, urbanization impacts on runoff regime, and discretization in urban watersheds
Artificial neural network-based modeling of hydrologic processes, flow and sediment transport modeling in rivers, hybrid hydrological modeling, hydrologic modeling: stochastic processes, and time series analysis of hydrologic data
Dam risk and uncertainty, drought indices for drought risk assessment in a changing climate, hydrologic prediction and uncertainty quantification, uncertainty and risk of the PMP and PMF
Geostatistics applications in hydrology, GIS applications in a changing climate, GIS-based upland erosion mapping, regional flood frequency analysis, regionalization of hydrological extreme events, remote sensing data and information for hydrological monitoring and modeling
Application of copulas in hydrology, bankfull frequency of rivers, statistical parameters used for assessing hydrological regime, significance of statistical tests and persistence in hydrologic processes
Students, practitioners, policy makers, consultants and researchers can benefit from the use of this text.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The work has a variety of strengths including well known and respected authors... The selection of topics is both complete and timely. In my opinion, everyone in the field of hydrology will need easy access to this book since it is the only book that I am aware that provides a holistic view of a critical subject."--Richard H. French, Research Prof. Emeritus, Division of Hydrologic Sciences, Desert Research Institute, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
"This handbook is well updated and it covers various aspects of environmental issues, climate change, water resources development and water resources management. Moreover, this handbook contains new techniques used in statistical hydrology, such as Multi-variate L-moments, copula, and geostatistics, as well as new information-based techniques such as the application of IT in hydrology."
--Stanislaw Halas, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Lublin, Poland
"...written in a professional manner. The list of references is sufficiently comprehensive... From the contents of particular volumes it seems that the book shall cover all main problems of modern hydrology."
--Jan Dowgiallo, Inst. Geol. Sci Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland
"The book is written by more than 200 authors from all over the world, who are well-known experts in their fields of study. To my mind, this is the advantage of the book; it is based on the case studies of different geographical locations, climate, geology and hydrology. It allows the reader to find the proper information concerning specific natural conditions and also to widen the knowledge about hydrology of foreign countries."
--Dr. Natalia A. Vinograd, St.Petersburg State University, Russia
"With the utilization of modern technology and research studies, this handbook is definitely a gem for those interested in advanced engineering hydrology. ... Each volume covers renowned research studies and topics from many different fields, thus providing a complete guidance to hydrological science and engineering."
--Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nittaya Wangwongwiroj, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, Thailand
"I think this handbook can be considered as a serious work... This volume can be useful as a handbook of isotopes application in hydrology for people who are starting [their] investigation in hydrology.
--Dr. Dinara Abbasova
"The book covers broad territory. The editor deserves to be complimented for assembling a broad array of chapters from around the world. The chapter authors are known for their contributions. The book will be a useful reference to a diverse community."
