Environmental and Hydrological Systems Modelling (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Providing the tools students and professionals need, this book details different approaches to modelling the water environment over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Their applications are shown with a series of case studies, taken mainly from the Asia-Pacific Region. Topics include linear systems, conceptual models, data driven models, process-based models, risk-management models, model parameter estimation as well as model calibration, validation, and testing.
