Ground and Surface Water Hydrology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Larry Mays' Hydrology is a comprehensive text stressing fundamentals of hydrologic process for both surface water hydrology and groundwater hydrology. The text makes use of internet resources, such as free modeling tools, to help solve more complicated and real-world problems more quickly, and motivate interest in the topics.

The book focuses on Water Resources Engineering as a subset of Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering covering sources of water that are useful to humans. Hydrology includes both water resources engineering, and more in-depth coverage of the hydrologic cycle (the continuous circulation of water in the atmosphere, land, surface water, and groundwater). The hydrologic effects of climate change is covered, as well as newer topics in hydrology including use of GIS, remote sensing, NEXRAD and other topics. Emphasis is given to the hydrologic processes and practice in the different climates: humid climate, cold climate, temperate climate, and arid and semi-arid climate.

Autorenporträt

Larry W. Mays has been a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Arizona State University since August 1989. He served as Chair of the Department from August 1989 until July 1996. Prior to that he was Director of the Center for Research in Water Resources and holder of an Engineering Foundation Endowed Professorship at The University of Texas at Austin, where he was on the faculty since 1976. Prior to that, he was a graduate research assistant and then a Visiting Research Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he received the Ph.D. in January 1976. He received the B.S. (1970) and M.S. (1971) degrees in civil engineering from the University of Missouri at Rolla, after which he served in the U.S. Army, (1970-1973) stationed at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California.
