This book discusses how hydroclimatology couples key information from climatology and hydrology to examine the changes caused by the climate system in the hydrologic cycle. Assessing the effects of this relationship on floods, drought and other water resource issues, this is a useful textbook for students in atmospheric science, hydrology, Earth and environmental science.
