The first book dedicated to describing the hydrology of water flow
in lake systems, geared for limnologists and students of hydrology.
With fresh water becoming a critical issue around the world, lake
mass balance-the hydrology or water movement in lakes-is
increasingly important to environmental studies and remediation
projects. Unfortunately, lake hydrology is often only briefly
covered in broader texts on hydrogeology and hydrology or is
confined to specialized research papers. Lake Hydrology rigorously
describes the hydrology of flow into and out of lake systems.
Explaining the physical parameters that influence lake behavior, as
well as the mathematics that describes these systems, this in-depth
book fills an important niche in the literature of watershed
science. This text * describes the physical structure and nature of
drainage basins and explains the origin and classification of lakes
* explores the hydrology of lake mass balance and storage as it
pertains to lake stage, groundwater and lake bottom interaction,
hypsometry, lake hydraulics, precipitation, surface flow,
evaporation, and transpiration * provides models, practical
information, and solutions for lake management or remediation
planning utilizing basic data, including stage fluctuation,
evapotranspiration, lake-bottom seepage, precipitation, and surface
flow * uses examples from real-world long-term studies, including
Utah's Great Salt Lake and Florida's Lake Jackson, a karstic lake
system * examines the effect of storm events including the temporal
and areal distribution of rainfall, and flow paths of water in the
catchment from precipitation * includes an introduction to relevant
scientific principles, such as dimensional analysis, the properties
of water, and the hydrologic cycle Unlike most limnology texts,
which emphasize lake ecology and biology, Lake Hydrology is
designed to truly elucidate the hydrology of lake systems,
especially as it relates to components of the hydrologic cycle.
This book will greatly benefit professionals and researchers
involved in lake management, remediation, or investigation of lake
systems, and can be used as is or integrated within graduate and
advanced undergraduate courses in limnology.
