Description

Providing an up-to-date treatment of hydrologic processes as they affect the design and operation of water quality control systems, this text can be used by both the student and practising professional in the hydrology area. It emphasizes measurement and interpretation of hydrologic data, and measurement and management of water volume and peak flows. Basic hydrologic, hydraulic and quality control concepts are integrated throughout and coverage is also provided of synthetic hydrographs, volume and peak discharge management, convolution, empirical frequency distributions and related design criteria. Numerous realistic chapter-end problems are also included together with computer problems and programs plus an IBM compatible disk of hydrological models.
