Realizing the importance of the subject there is a need for a book on hydrometeorology oriented to the Asian environment which can serve practicing engineers and hydrologists engaged in the planning development and management of water resources. This constitutes the objective of the present volume. The emphasis in the book is on practical applications of meteorology for water development and understanding of the needed meteorological concepts. The subject matter of the book follows this rationale. The book contains 15 chapters encompassing a wide spectrum of topics on hydrometeorology. The text material of each chapter in the book contains illustrative examples which are mostly based on actual recorded data. It is hoped that the book will be of use to the professionals engaged tin the water resources sector. The book should also be useful to university courses concerned with hydrometeorology and its application to water related issues. The book also caters to the requirement of the syllabi of various universities. 384 pp. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Water is vital for life. Since the dawn of civilization, much effort has been made to harness sources of fresh water. Recent years have raised global awareness of the need for increasing demand of water worldwide, largely because of growing population, rising standard of living, higher demand for energy, and greater appreciation for environmental quality. As an example, the world population has increased threefold in the past five decades. In order to meet the rising water demand, water resources are being developed by building large dams, reservoirs, barrages and weirs across rivers worldwide. The guiding principle for water resources development has been to ensure adequate supply of water for agriculture, domestic use (including fine drinking water), waste disposal, industries, and energy production, with due attention to maintain the ecosystem functions. This development, however, depends on a holistic, cooperative and scientific approach. The basic inputs in the assessment of waterresources for a given region are from hydrological data and the subject of hydrology forms the core in achieving sustainable development of water resources. Barring a few exceptions, hydrological data for most river basins are sparse and therefore it is difficult to comprehensively assess their water resources. The major source of water is rainfall which occurs as a result of condensation of atmospheric moisture governed by the science of meteorology.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The sub-field of hydrology and meteorology that focuses on the water and energy transfer between the surface of land and the lower atmosphere is known as hydrometeorology. It also deals with the water cycle and water budget related problems. It is concerned with the determination of rainfall possibilities, region and time distribution of rainfall, and evaporation. Hydrometeorology emphasizes on determining the connection between meteorological variables and the maximum precipitation that reaches the land. It helps in flood control and designing water-usage structures such as dams and reservoirs. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to hydrometeorology. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail.…
