Ebook: Deterministic methods in systems hydrology

"This text presents the basic theory underlying the multitude of parameter-rich models that dominate the hydrological literature today. Its objectives are: to introduce the elements of systems science as applied to hydrologic problems; to approach flood prediction and flood routing as problems in linear systems theory, clarifying the basic assumptions and evaluating their accuracy.

And to review and evaluate some deterministic models of components of the hydrologic cycle, with a view to assembling the most appropriate model of catchment response, for a particular problem in applied hydrology."--Jacket.  Read more...
