About the Book

Physical Hydrology, 2nd Edition by Dingman provides a comprehensive understanding of the conceptual basis of hydrology, focusing on the quantitative relationships involved in addressing scientific and water resources management questions. The book is rich in substance and tailored to meet the needs of future researchers and experts in the field.

The text is structured around four principal themes:

• Basic Concepts underlying the science of hydrology

• Global Climate and Hydrologic Cycle

• Land Phase of the Hydrologic Cycle

• Water Resource Management principles and applications

The book covers essential topics such as evapotranspiration rates, groundwater movement, hydrologic modeling, and the relationship between hydrologic regimes and climate changes. It also includes discussions on water quality, floods, drought analysis, and the application of hydrologic analysis to water-resource management.

Features include:

• Documented trends in global climate and hydrologic changes

• Methods for handling missing data

• In-depth discussions on hydrologic models, such as the BROOK90 model

• Exercises and Excel spreadsheets to enhance student learning

• Internet links to relevant hydrologic information

This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals seeking a deep understanding of hydrology and water resource management.
