Hydrological Simulation by Computer

Synopsis
Discusses the natural hydrological processes, their time variation and complicated interaction and computer simulation and its application to the complex problems of hydrology. Provides an insight into how to solve a complicated assessment problem by using computer methods. Describes natural hydrological processes using location shots of rainfall, overland flow, stream flow, evaporation, interception and infiltration processes including the seasonal variability of these processes. Shows the conversion of hydrological processes into a computer model, and concludes with examples of water resources design and flood forecasting using the computer simulation method.
