Environmental hydrology Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • This book, aimed at both undergraduate and professionals discusses a unified approach to the role of hydrology in environmental planning and management. The hydraulic continuum in determination of fate and migration of chemicals as well as micro-organisms in the environment is considered. The eco-hydrological consequences of environmental management is discussed along with an up-to-date account of mathematical modelling of pollution in the hydrological cycle. Following an introduction to the concept of environmental hydrology there are eleven individually authored chapters: watershed acidification modelling; climate change; understanding river hydrology; transport of reacting solutes in rivers and streams; water and contaminant transport in the vadose zone; transport of moisture and solutes in the unsaturated zone by preferential flow; groundwater contamination modelling; modelling subsurface transport of microorganisms; assessment and control of loading uncertainty for managing eutrophication and toxic chemical fate in lakes; modelling watershed water quality; and eco-hydrological consequences of environmental degradation.
