Description for Introduction to Physical Hydrology
Paperback. Introduction to Physical Hydrology explores the principal rules that govern the flow of water by considering the four major types of water: atmospheric, ground, soil, and surface. It gives insights into the major hydrological processes, and shows how the principles of physical hydrology inform our understanding of climate and global hydrology. Num Pages: 352 pages, 180 colour line drawings. BIC Classification: RBK. Category: (UF) Further/Higher Education; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 246 x 192 x 15. Weight in Grams: 678.
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 below the earth's surface - an understanding that can then be applied to water management ...

Reviews for Introduction to Physical Hydrology
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.
