Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: New York : Wiley, ©1990Description: xx, 565 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. + computer disc.ISBN: 0471624047.Subject(s): HYDROLOGY | RUNOFF | WATER QUALITY | GROUNDWATER | PRECIPITATION | FLOW MEASUREMENT | WATER SUPPLY | MANAGEMENTHoldings: GRETA POINT: 556.1 WAN
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Meteorology and the Hydrologic Cycle -- 3. Precipitation -- 4. Infiltration and Evapotranspiration -- 5. Streamflow Measurements -- 6. Hydrographs -- 7. Synthetic Hydrographs -- 8. Flow Routing -- 9. Probability and Statistics for Hydrologic Descriptors -- 10. Groundwater Hydrology -- 11. Volume and Peak Discharge Management -- Appendices -- Appendix A. Notation -- Appendix B. Metric Units with English Equivalents -- Appendix C. Nondimensional Rainfall and Frequency: Intensity Duration Curves -- Appendix D. Statistical Tables -- Appendix E. Derivation of Equations for Swale Design -- Appendix F. Gutter, Inlets, and Roadways -- Appendix G. Derivation of the Functional Forms of the Continuous Time Convolution Formulas -- Appendix H. Selected Hydrologic Soil Classifications -- Appendix I. Computer Program Descriptions and Example Outputs -- Index.
Scope and content: This edition of its popular predecessor has been significantly revised to increase flexibility in the presentation and maintain greater continuity of the material. Combining both theory and practical applications of empirical equations the text contains expanded treatment of water quantity and quality control, a detailed presentation of basic principles and use in analysis and design, hydrograph topics including synthetic and convolution techniques, practical and realistic case studies relating to design problems, and additional end-of-chapter problems. It provides new computer programs to explain complex concepts and solve large data-based problems. An additional appendix offers suggestions for classroom or lab problems.
