The book will be invaluable as a textbook for entry-level courses in hydrology directed at advanced seniors and graduate students in physical science and engineering. In addition, the book will be more broadly of interest to professional scientists and engineers in hydrology, environmental science, meteorology, agronomy, geology, climatology, oceanography, glaciology, and other earth sciences."--Jacket UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam051/2004051270.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam051/2004051270.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0732/2004051270-b.html ER -
