Hydrology in Practice Elizabeth M. Shaw’s is a study book for engineering hydrology, aimed at students who later work in consultancies, the Environment Agency, and similar organizations. This textbook is suitable for second- and third-year bachelor’s and MSc students in hydrology within technical, environmental science, and geography programs.
Description
This fourth edition of Hydrology in Practice replaces the traditional Flood Studies Report methods with current techniques from the Flood Estimation Handbook and its revisions. In addition, the chapters on instrumentation and modelling have been fully revised to reflect recent developments. With contributions from experts from the practice at JBA Consulting, the book provides up-to-date, practical knowledge. New case studies make the theoretical material recognizable for students. With extra focus on hydrological processes, it also has broader relevance, including insights from Keith J. Beven and Nick A. Chappell.
This textbook on engineering hydrology is an essential reference for students of hydrology in technical, environmental, and geography studies and for professionals in consultancy and environmental protection worldwide.
