| Summary |
"This book illustrates all the terms of the hydrologic cycle and discusses the possible methods of their estimation. Applications of the methods to the field problems are discussed extensively. Surface water hydrology is the focus of the book covering hydrologic processes, analysis and design. This book extensively covers all aspects of precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, stream flow-measurement, runoff estimation, evapotranspiration, hydrograph, flood estimation, flood routing, reservoir and sedimentation. A number of methods are proposed to solve the concepts or technique followed by examples." "This book will serve the needs of the undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering. Field engineers working in the areas of water resources engineering and agriculture engineering will also find it useful."--BOOK JACKET |
