Third Edition
by Kenneth N. Brooks
Hydrology and the Management of Watersheds provides:
- Introduction and basic hydrology chapters cover updates and other changes in the field
- Erosion and sediment yield chapters include an expanded discussion of stream channel processes, morphology, and classification
- Chapters contain information on water quality management, riparian management, and wetland hydrology and management
- Special topics chapters – or example, Snow Hydrology, Hydrologic Methods, and a chapter that presents tools for analysis and research in watershed management – provide information beyond the basics, complementing other sections of the book
- Comprehensive chapter condenses and updates material on socioeconomic considerations
