Surface Hydrology

In this study, both conventional approaches and state-of-the-art analysis techniques and data sources are explored. A modelling framework is developed which includes rainfall-runoff processes, river hydrodynamics and water allocation models, seeking a balance between sophistication and simplicity, i..

Growing population and unregulated access to forest land have exerted high pressure on the land and water resources of the recharge areas of the transboundary Mara river, in the Lake Victoria region leading to changes in land and water use patterns in the basin. This thesis considers the interaction..

In this volume, highlights developments within the interlinked areas of the response of groundwater systems to climate variability and climate change using contemporary field investigations and monitoring of aquifers, numerical simulations of aquifer response to climate change predictions and paleoh..

A collection of invited keynote lectures and refereed papers from the International Conference on Hydrodynamic in 2004. A resource of the latest developments in this key area, covering practical findings and technological advances...

Hydrology and water resources analysis can be looked at together, but this is the only book that presents the relevant material and bridges the gap between scientific processes and applications in one text -- for advanced students and practitioners...

This book introduces the Tsallis entropy theory to the water engineering community. Due to the versatility of the theory and its potential applications (already extensively applied in physics and chemistry), this book can help with teaching and research in hydrology, hydraulics, and water resources ..

These lecture notes on selected topics in numerical methods for hyperbolic equations are from renowned academics in both theoretical and applied fields, and include contributions on nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws; first-order schemes for the Euler equations; high-order accuracy: monotonicity..

This thesis explores the potential and limitations of low-cost, space-borne data in flood inundation modelling under unavoidable, intrinsic uncertainty. In particular, the potential in supporting hydraulic modelling of floods of: NASA’s SRTM topographic data, SAR satellite imagery of flood extents a..

Numerical Methods for Hyperbolic Equations focuses on: numerical methods for partial differential equations, and is valuable resource for learning the mathematical theory of compressible flows, as it includes a broad variety  of numerical methods for solving the partial differential equations that e..

Predictive Hydrology: A Frequency Analysis Approach is the first book to address both the theoretical concepts and the methodological approaches used in frequency hydrology. Spelling out fundamental methods, it providing concise instruction on the techniques that are involved and includes examples a..

This study concentrates on: (i) committee modelling of hydrological models, (ii) hybrid committee hydrological models, (iii) influence of sampling strategies on prediction uncertainty of hydrological models, (iv) uncertainty prediction using machine learning techniques, (v) committee of predictive u..
