Hydrology and Floodplain Analysis (6th Edition)
Hydrology and Floodplain Analysis offers a clear and up-to-date presentation of fundamental concepts and design methods required to understand hydrology and floodplain analysis. This edition addresses the computational emphasis of modern hydrology and provides a balanced approach to important applications in watershed analysis, floodplain computation, flood control, urban hydrology, stormwater design, and computer modeling.
The text is organized into three main sections designed to guide readers through complex material, while integrated examples, case studies, and homework problems reinforce major concepts. The 6th Edition includes significant updates, such as brand-new chapters covering Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and the latest advances in computer modeling applications. It also features new and updated real-world case studies that reflect current practices in the field of engineering and hydrology.
