1st Edition
by S. K. Gupta (Author)
The material of this book will derive its scientific under-pinning from basics of mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, meteorology, engineering, soil science, and related disciplines and will provide sufficient breadth and depth of understanding in each sub-section of hydrology. It will start with basic concepts:
- Water, its properties, its movement, modelling and quality
- The distribution of water in space and time
- Water resource sustainability
Chapters
on ‘global change’ and ‘water and ethics’ aim respectively to emphasize
the central role of hydrological cycle and its quantitative
understanding and monitoring for human well being and to familiarize the
readers with complex issues of equity and justice in large scale water
resource development process.
Modern Hydrology for Sustainable Development
is intended not only as a textbook for students in earth and
environmental science and civil engineering degree courses, but also as a
reference for professionals in fields as diverse as environmental
planning, civil engineering, municipal and industrial water supply,
irrigation and catchment management.
