Abstract
This is an essential, practical introduction, emphasizing the application of hydrological knowledge to the solution of engineering problems. The subject is set in a global context; hydrological extremes are taken from worldwide situations and examples of major engineering applications from many countries are cited. The arrangement of material is different from that of any comparable text: hydrological processes, with emphasis on methods of measurement, are separated from analytical techniques, and the book culminates in a selection of civil engineering spheres of operation requiring hydrological expertise, demonstrating some of the well tried methods and some of the new techniques applied in current practice.
