The new edition updates basic the basic concepts that provide a strong foundation in the field of hydrology. Coverage has been synthesized with a renewed focus on integrated watershed management reflecting the evolving view of the field for today’s students and professionals. New web links have been provided to allow students to more thoroughly explore the world of hydrology and watershed management outside of the book. Valuable chapter summaries and learning points are also included to help reinforce key concepts to the reader.
