Hydrology and Earth Systems

Hydrology is the study of water and its occurrence on Earth as well as its movement and properties in each phase of the hydrologic cycle. Water is a scarce natural resource and hydrologists seek to intervene in the availability and distribution of water in various regions of Earth. Concerns related to hydrology include the supply of water to cities or for cultivation, solve soil erosion and runoff as well as calamities like flooding. Geologic and atmospheric properties of various ecologies that are studied under Earth sciences allow for precise models for hydrological prediction and forecasting. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of this subject which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. It consists of contributions made by international experts. For all readers who are interested in hydrology, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
