Hydrology : a science of nature / André Musy, Christophe Higy

Por: Musy, AndréColaborador(es): Higy, ChristopheTipo de material: TextoTextoDetalles de publicación: New York : Routledge, 2011 Descripción: XXVIII, 326 p. : il., gráf. ; 26 cmISBN: 978-1-57808-709-9Tema(s): HidrologíaResumen: As a scientific discipline, hydrology is only a few hundred years old. To understand hydrology, it must be seen in conjuction of the basic sciences such as mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology. It also requires knowledge of geography, geology and meteorology, among other fields of study. Likewise, it is impossible to comprehend the real stakes, in terms of water management, without awareness of the social, legal and political issues that surround water in the modern world. Hydrology is a little of all of these disciplines, combined. This purpose of the book is to give a comprehensive overview of this very broad and complex field, giving priority to the water cycle, its various components and its interactions with the environment in which it develops and interacts. The authors have provided concrete examples and references. This book is designed for university students as well as engineers, scientists and anyone with an interest in the management of our water resources. One of its goals is to look beyond a purely scientific discussion of hydrology to the fact that mankind needs to wake up to the urgency of the situation in which we find ourselves. Because without water, life will end. It is hoped that this work will contribute to the sustainable development of our society and our environment.
