Rainfall-Runoff Modelling: The Primer, Second Edition isthe follow-up of this popular and authoritative text, firstpublished in 2001. The book provides both a primer for the noviceand detailed descriptions of techniques for more advancedpractitioners, covering rainfall-runoff models and their practicalapplications. This new edition extends these aims to includeadditional chapters dealing with prediction in ungauged basins,predicting residence time distributions, predicting the impacts ofchange and the next generation of hydrological models. Giving acomprehensive summary of available techniques based on establishedpractices and recent research the book offers a thorough andaccessible overview of the area.
Rainfall-Runoff Modelling: The Primer SecondEdition focuses on predicting hydrographs using modelsbased on data and on representations of hydrological process.Dealing with the history of the development of rainfall-runoffmodels, uncertainty in mode predictions, good and bad practice andending with a look at how to predict future catchment hydrologicalresponses this book provides an essential underpinning ofrainfall-runoff modelling topics.
* Fully revised and updated version of this highly populartext
* Suitable for both novices in the area and for more advancedusers and developers
* Written by a leading expert in the field
