Forest Hydrology
Author: Mingteh Chang
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 143987994X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 601
Book Description
Due to its height, density, and thickness of crown canopy; fluffy forest floor; large root system; and horizontal distribution; forest is the most distinguished type of vegetation on the earth. In the U.S., forests occupy about 30 percent of the total territory. Yet this 30 percent of land area produces about 60 percent of total surface runoff, the major water resource area of the country. Any human activity in forested areas will inevitably disturb forest floors and destroy forest canopies, consequently affecting the quantity, quality, and timing of water resources. Thoroughly updated and expanded, Forest Hydrology: An Introduction to Water and Forests, Third Edition discusses the concepts, principles, and processes of forest and forest activity impacts on the occurrence, distribution, and circulation of water and the aquatic environment. Brings water resources and forest-water relations into a single, comprehensive textbook Focuses on the concepts, processes, and general principles in forest hydrology Covers functions, properties, and science of water; water distribution; forests and precipitation, vaporization, stream flow, and stream sediment Discusses watershed management planning and practical applications of forest hydrology in resource management In a single textbook, Forest Hydrology: An Introduction to Water and Forests, Third Edition comprehensively covers water and water resources issues, forest characteristics relevant to the environment, forest impacts in the hydrological cycle, watershed research, watershed management planning, and hydrologic measurements. With the addition of new chapters, new issues, and appendices, this new edition is a valuable resource for upper-level undergraduates in forest hydrology courses as well as professionals involved in water resources management and decision-making in forested watersheds.

Secondary Succession And The Evaluation Of Rangeland Condition
Author: W. K. Lauenroth
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000311015
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
This book juxtaposes traditional and currently applied concepts of rangeland condition with new concepts. It presents a dialogue between traditionalists and their critics. The book outlines the effects of various activities by humans that eventually lead toward multiple climaxes.

Kinematic Wave Modeling in Water Resources
Author: Vijay P. Singh
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471109488
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 854
Book Description
Kinematic wave (KW) modeling methods are gaining wide acceptance as fast and accurate methods for handling a wide range of water modeling problems. This book provides a through reference to the application of KW methods to such problems as the spatial representation of watersheds, overland flow routing, and channel flow routing.

Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution
Author: A. Giorgini
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483291820
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
This volume contains most of the scientific contributions to the workshop ``Prediction of Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution: Model Selection and Application'' held in Venice, in the historic Ca' Vendramin Calergi, in June, 1984. Other contributions of specialists who were not able to attend the workshop have also been included in an attempt to make the work more complete. It is hoped that this collection will be useful to planners who operate in the field of agricultural diffuse source pollution, since several contributions are state-of-the-art presentations and others are specialized studies by American and European researcher.
