Details:
The third edition of Fundamentals of Hydrology provides an absorbing and comprehensive introduction to the understanding of how fresh water moves on and around the planet and how humans affect and manage the freshwater resources available to them.

The book consists of three parts, each of fundamental importance in the understanding of hydrology:

1. Processes within the Hydrological Cycle: This section explores the various processes that occur within the hydrological cycle, their understanding, and how to measure and estimate the amount of water within each process. It also addresses how these processes impact water quality.

2. Measurement and Analytical Assessment of Hydrological Parameters: This part is focused on streamflow and water quality measurements, along with analytical and modeling techniques employed by hydrologists to assess water resources.

3. Water Resource Management: The final section draws together the first two parts to discuss how to manage freshwater resources with respect to both quality and quantity in a changing world.

Fundamentals of Hydrology is a lively and accessible introduction to hydrology at the university level. It provides undergraduates with a thorough understanding of hydrological processes, knowledge of assessment techniques, and an up-to-date overview of water resource management. The text includes examples, case studies, essay questions, further reading guides, and website links.
