Remote Sensing in Hydrology

"Remote Sensing in Hydrology" provides a state-of-the-art analysis of the current applications of remote sensing for all aspects of the study of water resources. Following a brief examination of the basic principles of remote sensing, the authors deal in turn with each part of the hydrological cycle, emphasizing throughout the increasing importance of quantative methodology. Each chapter closes with a section on future developments. Chapters on the use of remote sensing in the management, monitoring and quality assessment of water resources and a final chapter on future development complete the book. This book should be of interest to professional hydrologists, hydrogeologists, remote sensing scientists; managers of natural resources; and researchers in departments of geography and civil engineering.
