    This textbook provides an introduction to hydrology concepts and relationships needed to describe the distribution and transport of water in the natural environment. It is split into four parts that cover water in the atmosphere, transport on the surface, below the surface, and at the basin scale. The physics and mathematics necessary to describe hydrologic phenomena are introduced. The textbook was written by Wilfried Brutsaert, a renowned hydrology professor, and is intended for advanced students in physical science and engineering as well as professionals in related fields.

    Hydrology

    Water in its different forms has always been a source of wonder, curiosity and practical
    concern for humans everywhere. This textbook presents a coherent introduction to many
    of the concepts and relationships needed to describe the distribution and transport of
    water in the natural environment.
    Continental water transport processes take place above, on and below the Earth’s
    surface, and consequently the book is split into four main parts. Part I deals with water in
    the atmosphere. Part II introduces the transport of water on the surface. Water below the
    surface is the subject of Part III. Part IV is devoted to flow phenomena at the basin scale
    and statistical concepts useful in the analysis of hydrologic data. Finally, the book closes
    with a brief history of ideas concerning the hydrologic cycle. Hydrologic phenomena
    are dealt with at spatial and temporal scales at which they occur in nature. The physics
    and mathematics necessary to describe these phenomena are introduced and developed,
    and readers will require a working knowledge of calculus and basic fluid mechanics.
    Hydrology – An Introduction is a textbook that covers the fundamental principles of
    hydrology, based on the course that Wilfried Brutsaert has taught at Cornell University
    for the past 30 years. 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, oceanology, glaciology and other Earth sciences.

    Wi l f r i e d B r u t s a e r t is William L. Lewis Professor of Engineering at Cornell


    University. In a long and prestigious career in the research and teaching of hydrology,
    Professor Brutsaert has received many awards and honors, including: the Hydrology
    Award and Robert E. Horton Medal, American Geophysical Union; President, Hydrology
    Section, American Geophysical Union, from 1992 to 1994, Fellow of the American
    Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society; the Ray K. Linsley Award,
    American Institute of Hydrology; Walter B. Langbein Lecturer, American Geophysical
    Union; International Award, Japan Society of Hydrology & Water Resources; Jule G.
    Charney Award, American Meteorological Society. He is a member of the National
    Academy of Engineering and has published two previous books, Evaporation into the
    Atmosphere: Theory, History and Applications (D. Reidel Publishing Company, 1982),
    and Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces (with G. H. Jirka, D. Reidel Publishing Company,
    1984). He has authored and co-authored more than 170 journal articles.
