The papers contained in this book, Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modelling, represent one part of the conference proceedings. The other parts are embodied in three separate companion books entitled, Statistical and Systems Analysis Techniques, Water Quality and Environment Considerations, and Water Resources Planning and Management, which are being published simultaneously. Arrangement of the contributions in these four books under different titles was a natural consequence of the diversity of the papers presented at the conference and the topics therein. These books can be treated almost independently, although considerable interconnectedness exists amongst them.
This book contains six sections reflecting on significant advances in Hydraulic and Hydraulic Modelling. Section 1 deals with rainfall which constitutes input to hydrologic modeling as well as hydrologic design. Section 2 presents hydrologic abstractions, including infiltration and evapotranspiration – a topic that has received much attention in recent years in the context of ecohydrology. Section 3 deals with surface runoff – a topic that has been at the forefront of hydrology research and practice for nearly a century now. Snow and glacier hydrology constitutes the subject matter of Section 4. Ground Water is dealt with in Section 5. The concluding Section 6 deals with watershed modeling. The book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of hydrology and water resources planning and management. Graduate students as well as those wishing to conduct further research in hydrology and water resources planning, development and management will find the book to be of value.
