This textbook presents a coherent introduction to the fundamental principles of hydrology for entry-level courses for advanced seniors and graduate students. It will also be more broadly of interest to professional scientists and engineers in hydrology, environmental science, meteorology, agronomy, geology, climatology, oceanology, glaciology and other earth sciences.

Wilfried Brutsaert is William L. Lewis Professor of Engineering at Cornell University. In a long and prestigious career in the research and teaching of hydrology, Professor Brutsaert has received many awards and honors, including: the Hydrological Award and Robert E. Horton Award, American Geophysical Union; President, Hydrology Section, American Geophysical Union, from 1992 to 1994, Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society; the Ray K. Linsley Award, American Institute of Hydrology; Walter B. Langbein Lecturer, American Geophysical Union; International Award, Japan Society of Hydrology & Water Resources; Jule G. Charney Award, American Meteorological Society. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and has published two previous books, Evaporation into the Atmosphere: Theory, History and Applications (D. Reidel Pub. Co., 1982), and Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces (with G. H. Jirka, D. Reidel Pub. Co., 1984). He has authored and co-authored more than 170 journal articles.

Rezensionen
Pre-publication praise for Hydrology - An Introduction: 'Wilfried Brutsaert presents the topics of classical hydrology through rigorous formulations of their governing fluid mechanics starting from first principles. Drawing upon his broad personal experience and employing both clear prose and revealing illustrations, he discusses and supports the approximations needed to answer quantitative questions. His fine textbook will become the accepted starting point for learning this branch of geophysics.' Peter S. Eagleson, Professor Emeritus, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
