"Hydrology in Practice" is an introduction to hydrology for undergraduate students of civil engineering, environmental science and geography. It is essentially practical and emphasizes the application of hydrological knowledge to engineering problems. In the text discussion of hydraulic processes is separated from analytical techniques and worked examples are included throughout. There are references to the use of microcomputers and software packages and the final section of the book deals with a range of civil engineering problems that require hydraulic expertise, demonstrating the new and established techniques of current practice. This second edition has increased coverage of the methodologies developed in the Flood Studies Report and discusses the Wallingford procedure in more detail. Groundwater, flood routing, design floods, flood warning and real-time forecasting are also explained more fully.

Chapman & Hall

A textbook for undergraduates studying civil engineering, providing a practical approach to applying hydrological knowledge to solving engineering problems. Assumes a good grounding in mathematics, including calculus, differential equations, and statistics. The third edition (earlier in 1983 and 1988) incorporates advances in instrumentation and philosophical changes in data processing. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Hydrology in Practice, Fourth Edition

Hydrology in Practice is an excellent and very successful introductory text for engineering hydrology students who go on to be practitioners in consultancies, the Environment Agency, and elsewhere. This fourth edition of Hydrology in Practice, while retaining all that is excellent about its predecessor, by Elizabeth M. Shaw, replaces the material on the Flood Studies Report with an equivalent section on the methods of the Flood Estimation Handbook and its revisions. Other completely revised sections on instrumentation and modelling reflect the many changes that have occurred over recent years. The updated text has taken advantage of the extensive practical experience of the staff of JBA Consulting who use the methods described on a day-to-day basis. Topical case studies further enhance the text and the way in which students at undergraduate and MSc level can relate to it. The fourth edition will also have a wider appeal outside the UK by including new material on hydrological processes, which also relate to courses in geography and environmental science departments. In this respect the book draws on the expertise of Keith J. Beven and Nick A. Chappell, who have extensive experience of field hydrological studies in a variety of different environments, and have taught undergraduate hydrology courses for many years. Second- and final-year undergraduate (and MSc) students of hydrology in engineering, environmental science, and geography departments across the globe, as well as professionals in environmental protection agencies and consultancies, will find this book invaluable. It is likely to be the course text for every undergraduate/MSc hydrology course in the UK and in many cases overseas too.
