This book contains seven parts. The first part deals with some aspects of rainfall analysis
including rainfall probability distribution local rainfall interception and analysis for
reservoir release. Part 2 is on evapotranspiration and discusses development of neural network
models errors and sensitivity. Part 3 focuses on various aspects of urban runoff including
hydrologic impacts storm water management and drainage systems. Part 4 deals with soil
erosion and sediment covering mineralogical composition geostatistical analysis land use
impacts and land use mapping. Part 5 treats remote sensing and geographic information system
(GIS) applications to different hydrologic problems. Watershed runoff and floods are discussed
in Part 6 encompassing hydraulic experimental and theoretical aspects. Water modeling
constitutes the concluding Part 7. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) Xinanjiang and Soil
Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) models are discussed. The book is of interest to
researchers and practitioners in the field of water resources hydrology environmental
resources agricultural engineering watershed management earth sciences as well as those
engaged in natural resources planning and management. Graduate students and those wishing to
conduct further research in water and environment and their development and management find the
book to be of value.
