Download or read book Dictionary of Hydrology and Water Resources written by Gordon Stanger and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book has its origin when I was an academic at Flinders University. Some Australian students, and many overseas students, seemed to be having difficulty with the jargon. To overcome this obstacle I started giving a glossary as a hand-out of a few pages. With each successive year the glossary expanded more and more until it reached the stage when I thought I might as well turn it into a technical dictionary for the benefit of both students and the many in-career professionals. The first edition was quite well received, but that was 20 years ago, and it is now starting to look distinctly dated. Also, in the intervening period the entire jargon of the water sector has expanded and evolved so, in response to several peoples suggestion of a revise3d updated and expanded edition, here it is.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plus de 20 ans de développement des métiers liés à l'eau, un accroissement très significatif des travaux sur les ressources en eau et leur qualité, la nécessité d'une approche pluridisciplinaire de ces domaines ont montré la nécessité d'une révision et d'un enrichissement du lexique publié en 1972 par Jean Margat. Ce lexique axé sur l'hydrogéologie, l'hydraulique souterraine et l'hydrologie de surface comporte également des termes relatifs à l'évaluation et la gestion des ressources en eau, à l'environnement et à la conduite de projets, soit plus de 5 000 termes. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à l'ensemble des professionnels des milieux académiques et appliqués dans les techniques liées à l'eau ainsi qu'à tous ceux qui sont appelés à lire et à rédiger des textes dans ces domaines. The water-related sector has, over the past 25 years, undergone considerable development accompanied by increased awareness of our water resources and their quality and of the need for a multidisciplinary approach. This called for a major revision and enrichment of the Glossary of Hydrogeology and Groundwater Hydraulics by Jean Margat that was published in 1972. The new Glossary, with over 5000 terms, focuses essentially on hydrogeology, groundwater and surface hydrology, but also includes entries related to water-resource assessment and management the Environment and project management. It is an essential reference work for all professionals in the water resource domain, whether academic or applied, and a must for all who read and/or write texts associated with hydrogeology and groundwater hydraulics.

Download or read book Elements of Physical Hydrology written by George M. Hornberger and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most cogent textbook ever produced on the topic, this revised and expanded edition will be welcomed by students and professionals alike. Among the many diverse aspects of environmental science, none is more critical to the future of society and nature than water. Understanding the role of water on Earth and making good decisions regarding water conservation and hydrological hazards depends on learning the fundamentals of physical hydrology. This textbook, now in an expanded second edition, provides the clearest opportunity for students to absorb those fundamentals. Written at an introductory level, Elements of Physical Hydrology covers virtually every aspect of this subject, including: • The hydrological cycle • Water budgets at catchment to global scales • Spatial and temporal aspects of precipitation • Evapotranspiration • Fluid dynamics and the Bernoulli equation • Laminar and turbulent flows • Open channel flow • Flood movement through reservoirs and channels • Flood frequency analysis • Groundwater flow • Aquifer characterization • Land subsidence • Soil moisture dynamics • Flow in the unsaturated zone • Hydrologic controls on vegetation • Biotic controls on hydrological processes • Runoff generation from surface and subsurface sources • Catchment models • The water-food-energy nexus • The globalization of water • Impacts of changing climate Layering one topic upon the next, Elements of Physical Hydrology succeeds in moving from simple, easy-to-grasp explanations through equations and models in a manner that will leave students new to the topic eager to apply their knowledge. Professionals in related disciplines will also find this book ideal for self-study. Thoughtfully illustrated, carefully written, and covering a broad spectrum of topics, this classic text clarifies a subject that is often misunderstood and oversimplified.
