Engineering Hydrology, sometimes called hydrologic engineering, is
an engineering specialty that focuses on water resources.
Engineering Hydrology is chiefly concerned with the flow and
storage of water including urban drainage, water supply, wastewater
treatment, river management and coastal protection. Hydrological
engineering also focuses on preventing floods and lessening the
effects of floods, droughts and other natural disasters. In this
book, we try to cover different aspects of Engineering Hydrology.
Firstly, we discuss the role of hydrological studies for the
development of the TDPS System and an application of filtered
renewal processes. Then we present the role of the dominant modes
of precipitation variability over Eastern Africa in modulating the
hydrology of Lake Victoria and the review of GRACE Data
Applications in terrestrial hydrology monitoring. Relative
contributions of forest change and climatic variability to
hydrology in large watersheds and climate change impact on the
hydrology of a typical watershed in the Tianshan Mountains are also
discussed. In the middle part of the book, we focus on impacts of
forest fires and climate variability on the hydrology of an Alpine
medium sized catchment in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and
scenario-based impact assessment of land use/cover and climate
changes on watershed hydrology in Heihe river basin of Northwest
China. Then hydrologic responses to land Use change in the Upper
Fenhe River Watershed and an analysis of land use change dynamics
and its impacts on hydrological processes in the Jialing River
Basin are also discussed. We also try to present geographic
concerns on flood climate and flood hydrology in monsoon-dominated
Damodar river basin of Eastern India and the use of H-SAF soil
moisture products for Operational Hydrology along with flood risk
management in remote and impoverished Areas of Haiti. The last
chapters of the book describe remote sensing-based assessment of
the variability of winter and summer precipitation in the Pamirs
and their effects on hydrology and hazards using harmonic time
series analysis. We also try to find out the hydrological
excitation of polar motion derived from GRACE gravity field
solutions and spatial evaluation of heavy metals concentrations in
the surface sediment of Taihu Lake. At the end, we describe
National scale rainfall-runoff modelling with demonstration of a
hydrological modelling framework and large-Scale hydrological
modeling and decision-making for agricultural water consumption and
allocation in the main stem tarim river of China.
