Engineering Hydrology

The scientific study of the movement, management and distribution of water on Earth and other planets is referred to as hydrology. It includes the study of the water cycle, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability. Hydrological engineering focuses on water resources. It is a speciality of civil engineering, which primarily focuses on the flow and storage of water. It also deals with the prevention of floods as well as mitigating the effects of floods, droughts and other natural hazards. Some of the key areas of engineering hydrology are urban drainage, wastewater treatment, coastal protection, water supply and river management. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to engineering hydrology. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on this field have been included in it. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
