This is a concise introduction to principles and applications of
hydrology in a geographical context. It uses a wealth of fully
illustrated examples to relate theory to the real geographical
problems associated with a subject central to our understanding of
the natural environment and the use we make of it. Whilst hydrology
and the study of water resources have been established for sometime
as topics for advanced study, they have been introduced into
A-level syllabuses only recently. Elements of Geographical
Hydrology is one of the first books aiming to serve the specific
requirements at this level. It provides a sound introduction to the
theory and principles of hydrology and illustrates them by means of
examples. It then proceeds to show the relevance of hydrology to
several important aspects of geography, namely: soil studies,
hillslope development, and water resource management. It relies
throughout on detailed examples, an approach which should enliven
the subject and provide substantial material to bring home its
realities and reinforce the reader's understanding. The book is
fully illustrated with many line drawings and photographs, all of
which are closely linked with the text. It offers opportunities for
the reader to test his or her understanding of the subject by means
of problem exercises. A selected and annotated list of further
reading indicates the most useful and accessible sources of more
comprehensive and advanced material.
