Engineering Hydrology is designed as a textbook for undergraduate
students of Civil Engineering and introduces several new concepts and
analytical methods and seeks to address the present day needs of
graduating engineers.
The book starts with a basic knowledge of water, its forms and
locations, the hydrologic cycle and methods to analyze hydrograph
applications. Full justice is done to key areas such as simulation and
synthetic methods in hydrology, with emphasis on Monte Carlo simulation,
rainfall-runoff relationships, statistical methods in hydrology, flood
frequency analysis incorporating new methods such as POT series theory,
fundamentals of groundwater flow and well hydraulics. Special emphasis
is laid on groundwater budgeting and numerical methods for situations
where analytical solutions are not possible. The use of software visual
MODFLOW further strengthens the discourse.
The focus of this textbook is on practical applications. A large number
of solved and unsolved examples is provided to aid the student in the
understanding of the fundamentals.
