This text provides a qualitative understanding of hydrologic processes and introduces new methods for quantifying hydrologic parameters and processes. This new edition is fully revised, and contains new and expanded end-of-chapter problems. It adds new content on global climate change and climate modeling, plus related information on hurricanes, typhoons, and monsoons. It also adds additional information on lakes, dams, and wetlands, as well as culverts and backwater curves, as well as expanded coverage of stream assessment methods, stream restoration practices, and floodplain function.
