Zusatztext "? thorough and detailed presentation of basic and advanced concepts of the field of hydrology interwoven with both theoretical and practical engineering applications specific to arid and semi-arid ? a thoughtful and well-organized textbook that is suitable for upper-level bachelor's and master's-level engineering students and practicing geologic and engineering professionals alike."-Carbonates Evaporites! 2011 Informationen zum Autor Mostafa M. Soliman Klappentext Presenting important insight into the complexities of arid region hydrology, this book provides the key component to formulate and implement integrated management approaches in catchment systems. It covers basic and applied research, sustained water education, and training programs and considers the advantages of new techniques and instrumentations with adequate support of financial and human resources. Topics include catchment characteristics, rainfall runoff and harvesting, stream flow routing, groundwater hydrology, resource management, and the design of hydraulic structures. The book offers illustrative case studies, conversion tables, and modeling software. Zusammenfassung 'When the well is dry, we learn the worth of water' - Benjamin Franklin.
