Elements of physical hydrology / George M. Hornberger [and three others] - SECOND EDITION. - Baltimore, Maryland : Johns Hopkins University Press, c2014 - viii, 378 pages ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Preface -- 1. The Science of Hydrology -- 2. Precipitation and Evapotranspiration -- 3. The Basis for Analysis in Physical Hydrology: Principles of Fluid Dynamics -- 4. Open Channel Hydraulics -- 5. Catchment Hydrology: Streams and Floods -- 6. Groundwater Hydraulic7. Groundwater Hydrology -- 8. Water in the Unsaturated Zone -- 9. Ecohydrology: Interactions between Hydrological Processes and the Biota -- 10. Catchment Hydrology: The Hillslope-Stream Continuum11. Water, Climate, Energy, and Food -- Appendixes -- 1. Units, Dimensions, and Conversions -- 2. Properties of Water3. Basic Statistics in Hydrology -- Answers to Example Problems -- Glossary -- References -- Index.
The most cogent textbook ever produced on the topic, this revised and expanded edition will be welcomed by students and professionals alike. Among the many diverse aspects of environmental science, none is more critical to the future of society and nature than water. Understanding the role of water on Earth and making good decisions regarding water conservation and hydrological hazards depends on learning the fundamentals of physical hydrology. This textbook, now in an expanded second edition, provides the clearest opportunity for students to absorb those fundamentals.
