Reviews
From the book reviews:
“The book covers numerous topics in modern hydrology, ranging from the traditional engineering disciplines of open-channel hydraulics and sediment transport to the more recent areas of decision making, climate change impact, and aquaculture management. … This book is an excellent resource, not only for the content presented but also for the long list of end-of-chapter references. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (E. Gomezdelcampo, Choice, Vol. 52 (4), December, 2014)
