Product Description
Introducing Hydrology's New Benchmark Reference Here's the first book in nearly 30 years to provide comprehensive coverage of the current state of hydrologic knowledge and practice--saving you hours of time tracking down the latest techniques in professional journals. Maidment's Handbook of Hydrology includes the contributions of more than 50 international authorities, who provide you with practical methods of solving problems in every aspect of the field, including the increasing application of geostatistics and computer models. You'll discover more effective ways to. . .mitigate the impact of floods through better urban drainage; assess the water supplies of cities and farming areas; prevent the pollution of natural waters; halt the damaging effects of erosion; protect wilddlife and preserve wetlands; contain and remove contaminants in waterways; and much more.

Essential reference for a Civil Engineer working with Water January 17, 2003
Matthew B. Willis
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I used this book as a course text in one course at grad school, and an unofficial text in numerous other courses. It is fairly specialized, geared toward the the intersection of civil engineering and hydrology. It contains an impressive breadth of subjects, some of which may now seem a little technologically quaint (although section 25.5.4 on meteor-burst telemetry is still incredibly cool). The bread and butter is immensely useful as a reference. In particular, I was impressed with the statistical elements of chapter 18, regarding the frequency analysis of extreme events. pThe handbook has 29 chapters and 58 contributors:ppart 1 - hydrologic cyclep1: Hydrologybr2: Climatologybr3: Precipitationbr4: Evaporationbr5: Infiltration and Soil Water Movementbr6: Groundwater Flowbr7: Snow and floating icebr8: Streamflowbr9: Flood runoffbr10: Flow routingpPart 2 - hydrologic transportp11: Water Qualitybr12: Erosion and Sediment Transportbr13: Hydrologic effects of land use changebr14: Contaminant transport in surface waterbr15: Contaminant transport in unsaturated flowbr16: Contaminant transport in groundwaterppart 3: hydrologic statisticsp17: Statistical treatment of hydrologic databr18: Frequency analysis of extreme eventsbr19: Analysis and modeling of hydrologic time seriesbr20: Geostatisticsppart 4: hydrologic technologyp21: Computer models for surface waterbr22: Computer models for subsurface watebr23: Advances in hydrologic computationbr24: Remote sensingp25: Automated data aquisition and transmissionbr26: Hydrologic forecastingbr27: Hydrologic design for water usebr28: Hydrologic design for urban drainage and flood controlbr29: Hydrologic design for groundwater pollution control

The book covers everything from the hydrologic cycle, climatology and precipitation to hydrologic design for groudnwater pollution control. This is a great book to use for reference material. I keep going back to this text when ever I am looking for a quick reference.

The handbook of hydrology is the bible for engineers and scientists in the field of hydrology. The text covers all facets of the topic with the most knowledgable perspectives from current research. My most referenced Handbook of Hydrology chapter is Ch. 18 on the frequency analysis of extreme events. Don't practice in the field without this text on your shelf.
