The International Hydrology Series is a collaborative publishing program between UNESCO, Paris and Cambridge University Press. It contains monographs describing research activities in hydrology and the study of hydrological hazards which have been sponsored by the UNESCO International Hydrology Program. The program addresses theoretical issues in the conduct of hydrological research, as well as practical, applied, and water management issues raised by hydrological projects worldwide.

Space and Time Scale Variability and Interdependencies in Hydrological Processes
  • Edited by Reinder A. Feddes
  • Published online:
    05 November 2011
    Print publication:
    24 August 1995
  • This book presents the integrated contributions of hydrologists, meteorologists and ecologists to the first IHP/IAHS George Kovacs Colloquium in connection with the study of global hydrology and climate change. The atmospherical, hydrological and terrestrial components of the Earth's systems operate on different time and space scales. Resolving these scaling incongruities, as well as understanding and modelling the complex interaction of land surface processes at the different scales, represent a major challenge for hydrologists, ecologists and meteorological scientists alike. This book deals with time and space scale variations with reference to several topics including: soil water balance; ecosystems and interaction of flow systems; and macroscale hydrological modelling. This book will be of great use to researchers, engineers and forecasters with an interest in space and time scale variability.

New Uncertainty Concepts in Hydrology and Water Resources
  • Edited by Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz
  • Published online:
    07 May 2010
    Print publication:
    13 July 1995
  • One of the greatest problems hydrology research faces is how to quantify uncertainty, which is inherent in every hydrological process. This overview of uncertainty emphasizes non-orthodox concepts, such as random fields, fractals and fuzziness. This book reviews alternative and conventional methods of risk and uncertainty representation in hydrology and water resources. The water-related applications discussed in the book pertain to areas of strong interest, such as multifractals and climate change impacts. The authors represent a variety of research backgrounds, achieving a broad subject coverage. The material covered provides an important insight into theories of uncertainty related to the field of hydrology. The book is international in its scope, and will be welcomed by researchers and graduate students of hydrology and water resources.

Hydrology and Water Management in the Humid Tropics
  • Hydrological Research Issues and Strategies for Water Management
  • Edited by Michael Bonell, Maynard M. Hufschmidt, John S. Gladwell
  • Published online:
    23 December 2009
    Print publication:
    02 September 1993
  • Environmental problems in the humid tropical regions, where the focus is on the fate and management of the surviving rainforest and climate change, are attracting increasing attention internationally. The distribution of tropical rainfall is highly variable, and in many regions the supply of potable water is inadequate. By the end of the century one-third of the world's population will be living in the humid tropics. This book considers all aspects of hydrology in the humid tropics. The first four parts of the book cover the physical basis of hydrology in the humid tropics: climatology, meteorology, process hydrology, sedimentation, water quality and freshwater ecology. This is followed by extensive treatment of the human and societal issues: land-use changes, water resource management, and rural and urban water supply in the tropical regions. The book is a uniquely integrated summary of hydrology in the tropics.
