Engineering Hydrology Techniques in Practice - Ellis Horwood Series in Civil Engineering.

This book aims to fill a long-standing need for ready access to the demonstration of a wide range of applications of hydrology in engineering. It is a compendium of completed schemes and projects which show how the techniques of hydrology are used in the planning, design or operating stages of a scheme. It is hoped to be a source of inspiration to designers and engineers looking for a solution to their water engineering problems.;The book has been collated from sources which include technical reports from research institutes working directly in this field, as well as consultations with engineering advisers and their clients working on current problems and schemes. There are broad sub-divisions, the first concerning problems of surplus and excess water, the second with water deficiencies and resources. The author presents investigations in the form of case studies and results from a range of countries, which will give the book a world-wide readership. Modern approaches to the organisation of water, in developed countries particularly, concludes the work.
