The science of physical hydrology centers on the physical
principles involved in the study of the occurrence and movement of
water on and beneath the earth's surface. Because of its
far-reaching implications for other disciplines, physical hydrology
is of interest to students in fields ranging from the environmental
sciences to engineering, policy studies, and even law.
In this introductory-level text the authors begin from the
premise that the complexities of modern hydrology can be mastered
by understanding basic physical principles of fluid movement.
Focusing first on analysis at the scale of a single watershed, they
then introduce the mechanics of fluids in closed conduits and open
channels. They re-evaluate catchment processes in light of fluid
mechanics, open channel hydraulics, and groundwater flow. In a
concluding chapter, they stress the importance of understanding
water movement in the environment by exploring the relationship of
hydrology to such disciplines as atmospheric science, ecology, and
geology.
Accompanying the book is a CD-ROM, which provides a Web version
of the text (Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later required). Included
are video demonstrations, additional content and interactive review
questions, and extensive links to facilitate study and review.
Instructions for using the Web version are included. Also on the
CD-ROM are simulation tools to study hydrological processes (MATLAB
student version 5.0 required).
