- Water, its properties, its movement, modelling and quality
- The distribution of water in space and time
- Water resource sustainability
Chapters on ?global change? and ?water and
ethics? aim respectively to emphasize the central role of
hydrological cycle and its quantitative understanding and
monitoring for human well being and to familiarize the readers with
complex issues of equity and justice in large scale water resource
development process.
Modern Hydrology for Sustainable Development is intended
not only as a textbook for students in earth and environmental
science and civil engineering degree courses, but also as a
reference for professionals in fields as diverse as environmental
planning, civil engineering, municipal and industrial water supply,
irrigation and catchment management.
