Runoff Prediction in Ungauged Basins

A synthesis of international catchment hydrology research, for researchers and professionals in hydrology, soil science, and environmental and civil engineering.

Based on the prestigious IAHS PUB initiative, this full colour book synthesises world-wide research on catchment hydrology, providing a one-stop resource for hydrologists in developed and developing countries. It is a key resource for researchers and professionals in the fields of hydrology, geography, soil science, and environmental and civil engineering.Predicting water runoff in ungauged water catchment areas is vital to practical applications such as the design of drainage infrastructure and flooding defences, runoff forecasting, and for catchment management tasks such as water allocation and climate impact analysis. This full colour book offers an impressive synthesis of decades of international research, forming a holistic approach to catchment hydrology and providing a one-stop resource for hydrologists in both developed and developing countries. Topics include data for runoff regionalisation, the prediction of runoff hydrographs, flow duration curves, flow paths and residence times, annual and seasonal runoff, and floods. Illustrated with many case studies and including a final chapter on recommendations for researchers and practitioners, this book is written by expert authors involved in the prestigious IAHS PUB initiative. It is a key resource for academic researchers and professionals in the fields of hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, geography, soil science, and environmental and civil engineering.
