The late Professor Reds Wolman in his Foreword to the award-winning
second edition said, "This is not your ordinary textbook.
Environmental Hydrology is indeed a textbook, but five elements
often found separately combine here in one text to make it
different. It is eclectic, practical, in places a handbook, a guide
to fieldwork, engagingly personal and occasionally opinionated. ...
and, perhaps most engaging to me, in places the authors offer
personal views as well as more strongly worded opinions. The former
often relate to evaluation of alternative approaches, or
formulations, of specific solutions to specific hydrologic
problems." The first and second editions were bestsellers and the
third promises to educate people new to the field of hydrology and
challenge professionals alike, with insightful solutions to
classical problems as well as trendsetting approaches important to
the evolving genre. The third edition enhances materials in the
second edition and has expanded information on many topics, in
particular, evapotranspiration, soil erosion, two-stage ditch
design and applications, and stream processes. What's New in the
Third Edition: Presents new sections on rock structures in streams,
hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, and agricultural practices to reduce
nutrient discharges into water resources Enhances the format to aid
the reader in finding tables, figures, and equations Contains more
than 370 figures, 120 tables, 260 equations, 100 worked examples,
160 problems, and more than 1000 references Collectively, the
authors have more than 130 years of international experience and
the addition of John Lyon and Suzette Burckhard as co-authors
expands the breadth of knowledge presented in this book. More than
60 scientists and engineers in Australia, Canada, Europe, and the
United States provided assistance to round out the offerings and
ensure applicability to hydrology worldwide.
