Advances in Hydrology and Climate Change

Historical Trends and New Approaches in Water Resources Management.

Focusing on surface and groundwater and sustainable solutions, this book highlights recent trends in the water sector that employ innovative management and conservation approaches in conjunction with climatic uncertainty, using hydrometeorological data sets and hydrological modeling.

Highlighting recent trends that employ innovative management and conservation approaches, this volume provides an informative overview of the issues and challenges in water resources affected by climate change, such as drought, flooding, glacier changes, and overbuilt-up urban areas. Focusing on surface and groundwater related issues, the book presents solutions that include such methods as morphometric assessment, parameter estimation, long-term trend analysis, sustainability indexes, storm water management models, entropy-based measurement of long-term precipitation, and more. The volume focuses on providing a better understanding of climatic uncertainty through hydrometeorological data sets and their application in hydrological modeling. These analyses help to serve as the basis for the design of flood-control and water-usage management policies.
