This book describes recent developments in hydrometeorological forecasting techniques for a range of timescales, from short term to seasonal and longer terms. Following an introduction to measurement and modelling techniques, subsequent chapters discuss a range of practical applications in flood and drought forecasting, climate change and environmental impact assessments, water resources and water quality studies, agriculture, hydropower, river basin management.
The book is useful for civil engineering, water resources, meteorology and hydrology courses for post-graduate students, but is primarily intended as a state-of-the-art review for a wider audience.
Kevin Sene is a civil engineer and researcher with wide experience in flood forecasting, water resources and hydrometeorological studies. He has published some 45 scientific and conference papers on topics in hydrology, hydrometeorology and hydraulics.
