Summary

Water dominates our lives: we live on a planet with much water and our lives depend on it in many ways. Despite the seeming abundance of water on the planet - with over 70% being salt water - human activity and prevailing climate conditions are placing more pressure on our supply of water than ever before, however. With this pressure comes a need to understand the physical principles of hydrology - the study of the occurrence, movement, and physical properties of non-oceanic water on and belo…

Critics Review

“I think it is the best textbook for undergraduates that I have seen so far. I am very fond of your examples, your exercise material and the treatment of mathematics. ” - Professor Hubert Savenije, Delft University of Technology”Excellent mathematical tools, and boxes that bring extra knowledge and interesting applications. A pleasure to read. “ - Dr Roger Thunvik, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden”A detailed and thorough review of the physical principles of hydrology… case studies and examples as ‘boxes’, and student exercises (along with all important answers) makes this student textbook a useful addition to the literature available in this subject area. “ - Dr Ian Maddock, Principal Lecturer in Physical Geography, University of Worcester
