The Hydrology of the UK assesses the changing hydrology of the UK,
focusing on key issues that affect the fundamental hydrological
processes and have important implications for water resource
management, flood risk and environmental quality. The bookis
divided into 3 sections: Section 1 examines the causes of change to
the hydrology of the UK, including the impact of climate change,
land use and geomorphological change, and dam construction. Section
2 assesses the effects of these pressures on UK rivers, goundwater,
lakes, ponds, reservoirs and wetlands, looking at water quality,
degradation, pollution and protection. Section 3 examines the
responses of goverment organisations responsible for planning and
management of water, including Environment Agencies, British
Hydrological Society and the growing urgency for a World Hydrology
Initiative. Change will continue to be a major feature of UK
hydrology in the future. This book provides an understanding of the
changing hydrology of the UK and the international scene today and
looks to the needs for the future.
'Packed with information and insights...a most welcome account of all the broader principles and issues that need to be taken into account in the planning, design and consideration of new schemes, and for those responsible for their day-to-day operation.' - Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management
