Editorial Review Product Description The authors begin by outlining fundamental hydrologic theories and the current general knowledge before expanding into a formal discussion specific to Hawaii and the distinctive elements and their interrelations under natural and human-influenced conditions. They include chapters on rainfall and climate, evaporation, groundwater, and surface runoff. Details on the quantification of hydrologic processes are available to those with more technical knowledge, but general readers with an interest in the topic—one of singular importance for the Hawaiian Islands—will find much in the volume that is timely and accessible. |

Splendid Text
Great text for both teaching and students I must admit that the previous review from the skier guy in Denver kinda turned me off, but I bought the book anyway and have never regretted it.Actually, I was able to discuss some aspects with the authors and found their insights particularly useful.Without doubt the material is difficult, but it's laid out well here.I found the answered questions very useful before trying the additional questions to which no answers are given. While the book is likely not perfect I can say to the guy from Denver that if you were lucky enough to take this class from the author then, kudos to you.Also, one thing I have learned is that it's extremely difficult to have as he put it "a decent and intense class" without a good text.My experience has been that the class generally follows the text.If one is poor, usually both are poor. My recommendation is that this is a great text and one won't go wrong by purchasing it.In my opinion the best chapters are 1-3, 7-10, and 13, but that those are where my skills are concentrated and they are all well thought out and well written.The list of symbols is also very useful although quite lengthy as they include soil science, hydrology, and engineering symbols for the same areas.I didn't catch that at first.I really like the book compared to others I've studied.Best of all, it helped me master this area and gained me a $10k per year raise in my firm.
4.5 stars? You have got to be kidding me. Once again, the book is good for a refrence if you already know your unsaturated zone science, but forget trying to learn unsat zone hydrolgy from this text unless you have a great prof or 170 IQ. Looking at my book shelf, I have to put this text in the bottom 40%, 2 stars.
Well-prepared and well-presented summary of unsaturated zone The book has an attractive cover with an artist’s rendition of the major processes that occur in the unsaturated zone beneath urban and rural areas.The images on the cover depict well the topics covered.The table of contents is easy to follow and quickly reveals that the book’s subject matter is presented in a logical order.Following the introduction, which includes a brief history of unsaturated zone hydrology, are chapters on the physical properties and characteristics of soils, the behavior of clay-water systems, and the energy status and chemical properties of water.These first few chapters provide an excellent foundation for subsequent ones on water flow (including both unsaturated and saturated zones) and the transport of heat, gas, and contaminants.The book contains another six chapters on topics ranging from soil remediation techniques to spatial variability, scaling, and fractals.A list of symbols is given in one of the appendices, which readers will find helpful. Three aspects of the book I particularly like.First, questions are given at the end of many sections to test the student’s understanding of the material.Detailed answers to these questions are given at the end of each chapter, as well as additional questions that could be assigned to the students.Second, the book covers a wide range of topics, yet discusses them in sufficient detail to be useful as both a teaching aid and a reference book.Third, the book contains a pleasant blend of theoretical and practical information. This book is a well-prepared and well-presented summary of unsaturated zone hydrology.It covers a fairly broad range of topics and will be of interest to scientists and engineers engaged in a wide variety of unsaturated zone studies.Even the price is quite reasonable! (...)
Very complete, an excellent teaching and reference text. There are many completed problem sets in the text that show the students how to logically approach and solve very complex problems.The instructor manual that is available separately for the text has been a life saver.It is accurate and allows me to use my own problem sets that I have designed and collected over the years and it lets me supplement with problems that are worked-out in detail within the manual. For instructors who wish to teach a more advanced modelling course, this book will allow teaching a highly advanced course if desired. I found a few errors in nomenclature and some inacuracies in a few of the problems.These were minor and were also listed in the errata of the book, which unfortunately was not shipped from the publisher, but obtained from the authors whom I wrote.They quickly sent it to me. Thank you James Tindall and James Kunkel for a fine text, one that was too long in coming.

Editorial Review Product Description The natural scarcity of water in arid and semiarid regions, aggravated by man-made factors, makes it difficult to achieve a reliable water resources supply. Communities in these areas pay the price for thousands of years of water manipulation. Presenting important insight into the complexities of arid region hydrology, Engineering Hydrology of Arid and Semi-Arid Regions explores the key components for formulating and implementing integrated management approaches in catchment (wadi) systems.

54. Statistical Analysis of Extreme Values: with Applications to Insurance, Finance, Hydrology and Other Fields by Rolf-Dieter Reiß, Michael Thomas | |

Editorial Review Product Description The statistical analysis of extreme data is important for various disciplines, including hydrology, insurance, finance, engineering and environmental sciences. This book provides a self-contained introduction to the parametric modeling, exploratory analysis and statistical interference for extreme values. The entire text of this third edition has been thoroughly updated and rearranged to meet the new requirements. Additional sections and chapters, elaborated on more than 100 pages, are particularly concerned with topics like dependencies, the conditional analysis and the multivariate modeling of extreme data. Parts I–III about the basic extreme value methodology remain unchanged to some larger extent, yet notable are, e.g., the new sections about "An Overview of Reduced-Bias Estimation" (co-authored by M.I. Gomes), "The Spectral Decomposition Methodology", and "About Tail Independence" (co-authored by M. Frick), and the new chapter about "Extreme Value Statistics of Dependent Random Variables" (co-authored by H. Drees). Other new topics, e.g., a chapter about "Environmental Sciences", (co--authored by R.W. Katz), are collected within Parts IV–VI. Customer Reviews (3)
Unexpected charge
Lack of practical insight On the other hand, the estimation of particular EV distributions is thoroughly covered, with theoretical (many references) and practical issues (for the estimation only) well described in every section. Another negative point concerns the distribution of XTREMES provided with the book which is far from complete, and with bugs (changing on-line the values of the parameters of some distributions makes it crash...). I consider this book as a theoretically extended version of the manual of XTREMES, but not a self-sontained statistical book. In summary, if you are interested in a very specific EV family, then this book can be useful, but not as a textbook. Rather go to Castillo (EV in engineering) for a good textbook on EV distributions.
Brilliant book! |

Editorial Review Product Description This is a concise introduction to principles and applications of hydrology in a geographical context. It uses a wealth of fully illustrated examples to relate theory to the real geographical problems associated with a subject central to our understanding of the natural environment and the use we make of it. Whilst hydrology and the study of water resources have been established for sometime as topics for advanced study, they have been introduced into A-level syllabuses only recently. Elements of Geographical Hydrology is one of the first books aiming to serve the specific requirements at this level. It provides a sound introduction to the theory and principles of hydrology and illustrates them by means of examples. It then proceeds to show the relevance of hydrology to several important aspects of geography, namely: soil studies, hillslope development, and water resource management. It relies throughout on detailed examples, an approach which should enliven the subject and provide substantial material to bring home its realities and reinforce the reader's understanding. The book is fully illustrated with many line drawings and photographs, all of which are closely linked with the text. It offers opportunities for the reader to test his or her understanding of the subject by means of problem exercises. A selected and annotated list of further reading indicates the most useful and accessible sources of more comprehensive and advanced material. |
58. Remote Sensing in Snow Hydrology: Runoff Modelling, Effect of Climate Change (Springer Praxis Books / Geophysical Sciences) by Klaus Seidel, Jaroslav Martinec | |

list price: US$159.00 -- used & new: US$159.00 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 3642074170 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Initially, the role of snow and ice in the global water balance is assessed and methods of snow measurements are explained. Remote sensing is dealt with with regard to periodical snow cover mapping. Last advances and refinements refer to spatial resolution, cloud interference and separate monitoring of snow and glacier ice. Following a review of snow melt and runoff modelling, the Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) demonstrates the merits of remote sensing in snow hydrology by using the satellite data as a direct input variable. Applications in over 100 mountain basins around the world are documented, with surface areas ranging from 0.3 km2 to 900.000 km2. Based on runoff modelling, runoff forecasts are dealt with including seasonal and short term forecasts as well as computation of hydrographs from forecasted temperatures and precipitation. The climate change is becoming a major concern of our times. The effect of various climate scenarios on the seasonal snow cover and runoff is evaluated by the updated computer program which also enable the real-time runoff forecasts to be improved. As a final note, a method is outlined to predict the decline of glaciers in the warming climate. |
