Description
Around the globe, mountainous regions, ranging from arctic to tropical, provide a source of water from orographic-induced rain and snow that can sustain ecosystems, agriculture and populations in areas that might otherwise be quite arid. Climate warming will alter patterns of mountain precipitation, changing seasonal snow cover and hydrology. It is critical that we understand how climate interacts with snow and mountain hydrology, how streamflow and ecosystems will be affected, and how these changes will translate into impacts on water supply downstream.
The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology. Our books are authored, edited and produced at the highest level of quality, with the most current and thorough research.
Our publications and our work advance the science and the professional practice of Hydrology in a variety of Science and Engineering fields around the world.
The areas that we publish in include:
-Ground water
-Surface water
-Snow and ice hydrology
-Drought and desertification
-Runoff modelling
-Watershed
-Remote sensing
-Water quality
-Water resources and management
-Ecohydrology/hydro-ecology
-Erosion and sediment
-Tracer hydrology
