Concern over flooding and water quality has driven the development of hydrologic models applicable to the scale of small watersheds. The editors have compiled a comprehensive book describing 23 hydrologic models in common use around the world. These models are used in a wide variety of disciplines, including soil and environmental sciences, civil and agricultural engineering, forestry and range science, and climatology.
The models are presented in one of five categories, namely, distributed, parametric, monthly water balance, real-time flow forecasting, or environmental models. Both deterministic and stochastic modeling approaches are included. For each model the authors describe the common uses of the model, the theoretical...
