Engineering Hydrology is designed as a textbook for undergraduate
students of Civil Engineering and introduces several new concepts and
analytical methods and seeks to address the present day needs of
graduating engineers. The book starts with a basic knowledge of
water, its forms and locations, the hydrologic cycle and methods to
analyze hydrograph applications. Full justice is done to key areas such
as simulation and synthetic methods in hydrology, with emphasis on Monte
Carlo simulation, rainfall-runoff relationships, statistical methods in
hydrology, flood frequency analysis incorporating new methods such as
POT series theory, fundamentals of groundwater flow and well hydraulics.
Special emphasis is laid on groundwater budgeting and numerical methods
for situations where analytical solutions are not possible. The use of
software visual MODFLOW further strengthens the discourse. The
focus of this textbook is on practical applications. A large number of
solved and unsolved examples is provided to aid the student in the
understanding of the fundamentals.
