The third edition of Fundamentals of Hydrology provides an
absorbing and comprehensive introduction to the understanding of
how fresh water moves on and around the planet and how humans
affect and manage the freshwater resources available to them. The
book consists of three parts, each of fundamental importance in the
understanding of hydrology: The first section deals with processes
within the hydrological cycle, our understanding of them, and how
to measure and estimate the amount of water within each process.
This also includes an analysis of how each process impacts upon
water quality issues. The second section is concerned with the
measurement and analytical assessment of important hydrological
parameters such as streamflow and water quality. It describes
analytical and modelling techniques used by practising hydrologists
in the assessment of water resources. The final section of the book
draws together the first two parts to discuss the management of
freshwater with respect to both water quality and quantity in a
changing world. Fundamentals of Hydrology is a lively and
accessible introduction to the study of hydrology at university
level. It gives undergraduates a thorough understanding of
hydrological processes, knowledge of the techniques used to assess
water resources, and an up-to-date overview of water resource
management. Throughout the text, examples and case studies from all
around the world are used to clearly explain ideas and techniques.
Essay questions, guides to further reading, and website links are
also included.
