Handbook of Engineering Hydrology (Three-Volume Set)

With contributions from experts from more than 30 countries, this comprehensive handbook covers multiple aspects of hydrology with both traditional and new approaches. It focuses on the impact of climate change on hydrology and examines new methods of water conservation, harvesting, and hydraulic fracturing. It also covers management topics including water scarcity, water security, water policy, and governance, transboundary issues and more. The chapters highlight the environmental aspects of hydrology, cover hydrological modeling processes and changes, and examine new techniques in statistical hydrology as well as new information-based techniques.

While most books examine only the classical aspects of hydrology, this three-volume set covers multiple aspects of hydrology, and includes contributions from experts from more than 30 countries. It examines new approaches, addresses growing concerns about hydrological and ecological connectivity, and considers the worldwide impact of climate change.

It also provides updated material on hydrological science and engineering, discussing recent developments as well as classic approaches. Published in three books, Fundamentals and Applications; Modeling, Climate Change, and Variability; and Environmental Hydrology and Water Management, the entire set consists of 87 chapters, and contains 29 chapters in each book.

Students, practitioners, policy makers, consultants and researchers can benefit from the use of this text.
