Predictive Hydrology - a Frequency Analysis Approach

The unusual frequency of hydro-meteorological events in recent decades, often with catastrophic consequences for society and the environment, require new methods for designing water management projects and the structures meant to protect us from natural hazards. These methods and techniques are often based on the statistical modeling techniques of frequency analysis. 'Predictive Hydrology: A Frequency Analysis Approach' is the first book to address both the theoretical concepts and the methodological approaches used in frequency hydrology - spelling out the fundamental methods to consider, providing concise instruction on the techniques that are involved, and including examples and critiques based on practical applications. It explores some of the recent research developments in the field.
