Problems in Applied Hydrology

This book has been used successfully as supplemental material by major universities worldwide for courses in elementary hydrology. It has been cited and referenced in numerous papers, journals, and books continuously since it was first published. The practical and applicable problems are still relevant today as when it was first printed. Sets of problems demonstrate the application of hydrology to the solution of problems in water resources engineering. The problems are both in English (US) and metric units. Grouped in ten sections, the material has been organized to help the user solve the extensive problems: Chapt 1 Units and Conversion of Units, Maps, Measurements of Distances, Slopes, and Areas; Chapt 2 Application of Elementary Statistics in Hydrology; Chapt 3 is on Climatic Measurements, Precipitation and Precipitation Analysis; Chapt 4 Infiltration and Soil Moisture Analysis; Chapt 5 Evaporation and Evapotranspiration; Chapt 6 Ground Water; Chapt 7 Runoff and Hydrograph Analysis; Chapt 8 Stream and Reservoir Routing; Chapt 9 Probability Analysis; Chapt 10 Applications to Engineering Problems. In addition, each section and subsection contains solved example problems. This book is an excellent manual for introductory courses in elementary hydrology. It is now part of WRPs Classic Resource Edition.
