Volume 1: (edited by Keith W. Hipel) In this landmark collection of
papers, highly respected scientists and engineers from around the
world present the latest research results in extreme value analyses
for floods and droughts. Two approaches that are commonly employed
in flood frequency analyses are the maximum annual flood and
partial duration series or peak over threshold procedures. Recent
theoretical advances as well as illustrative applications are
described in detail for each of these approaches. Additionally,
droughts and storms are systematically studied using appropriate
probabilistic models. A major part of the volume is devoted to
frequency analyses and fitting extreme value distributions to
hydrological data. Other thought-provoking topics include
regionalization techniques, distributed models, entropy and fractal
analysis. Volume 1 is of interest to researchers, teachers,
students and practitioners who wish to place themselves at the
leading edge of flood frequency and drought analyses. Volume 2:
(edited by Keith W. Hipel) World renowned scientists present
valuable contributions to stochastic and statistical modelling of
groundwater and surface water systems. The philosophy of
probabilistic modelling in the hydrological sciences is put into
proper perspective and the importance of stochastic differential
equations in the environmental sciences is explained and
illustrated. The new research ideas put forward in groundwater
modelling will assist decision makers in tackling challenging
problems such as controlling pollution of underground aquifers and
obtaining adequate water supplies. Additionally, different types of
stochastic models are used in modelling a range ofinteresting
surface water problems. Other topics covered in this landmark
volume include stochastic optimization, moment analysis, carbon
dioxide modelling and rainfall prediction. Volume 2 is of interest
to researchers, teachers, students and practitioners who wish to be
at the leading edge of stochastic and statistical modelling in the
environmental sciences. Volume 3: (edited by Keith W. Hipel; A. Ian
McLeod; U.S. Panu; Vijay P. Singh) International experts from
around the globe present a rich variety of intriguing developments
in time series analysis in hydrology and environmental engineering.
Climatic change is of great concern to everyone and significant
contributions to this challenging research topic are put forward by
internationally renowned authors. A range of interesting
applications in hydrological forecasting are given for case studies
in reservoir operation in North America, Asia and South America.
Additionally, progress in entropy research is described and entropy
concepts are applied to various water resource systems problems.
Neural networks are employed for forecasting runoff and water
demand. Moreover, graphical, nonparametric and parametric trend
analyses methods are compared and applied to water quality time
series. Other topics covered in this landmark volume include
spatial analyses, spectral analyses and different methods for
stream-flow modelling. Volume 3 constitutes an invaluable resource
for researchers, teachers, students and practitioners who wish to
be at the forefront of time series analysis in the environmental
sciences. Volume 4: (edited by Keith W. Hipel; Liping Fang) In this
landmark set of papers, experts from around the world present the
latest andmost promising approaches to both the theory and practice
of effective environmental management. To achieve sustainable
development, organizations and individual citizens must comply with
environmental laws and regulations. Accordingly, a major
contribution of this book is the presentation of original
techniques for designing effective environmental policies,
regulations, inspection procedures and monitoring systems.
Interesting methods for modelling risk and decision making problems
are discussed from an environmental management perspective.
Moreover, knowledge-based techniques for handling environmental
problems are also investigated. Finally, the last main part of the
book describes optimal approaches to reservoir operation and
control that take into account appropriate multiple objectives.
Volume 4 is of direct interest to researchers, teachers, students
and practitioners concerned with the latest developments in
environmental management and sustainable development.
