Product Description
Product Description
Hydrology in Practice is an excellent and very successful introductory text for engineering hydrology students who go on to be practitioners in consultancies, the Environment Agency, and elsewhere.
This fourth edition of Hydrology in Practice, while retaining all that is excellent about its predecessor, by Elizabeth M. Shaw, replaces the material on the Flood Studies Report with an equivalent section on the methods of the Flood Estimation Handbook and its revisions. Other completely revised sections on instrumentation and modelling reflect the many changes that have occurred over recent years. The updated text has taken advantage of the extensive practical experience of the staff of JBA Consulting who use the methods described on a day-to-day basis. Topical case studies further enhance the text and the way in which students at undergraduate and MSc level can relate to it. The fourth edition will also have a wider appeal outside the UK by including new material on hydrological processes, which also relate to courses in geography and environmental science departments. In this respect the book draws on the expertise of Keith J. Beven and Nick A. Chappell, who have extensive experience of field hydrological studies in a variety of different environments, and have taught undergraduate hydrology courses for many years.Second- and final-year undergraduate (and MSc) students of hydrology in engineering, environmental science, and geography departments across the globe, as well as professionals in environmental protection agencies and consultancies, will find this book invaluable. It is likely to be the course text for every undergraduate/MSc hydrology course in the UK and in many cases overseas too.

Hydrology in Practice
27 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The first edition of Hydrology in Practice by Elisabeth Shaw published in 1983 was a standard text.The handbook explains very well the data-collection, which are the basis for hydrology and its applications. It described basic hydrological analysis at undergraduate level. We are almost 30 years later and it became more than necessary to update this book. Three authors, Keith Beven, Nick Chappel and Rob Lamb, did a very good job in updating while maintaining the original spirit and strength of the book. The update is situated in firstly the modern measurement methods, secondly new insights in hydrological processes and thirdly hydrological modelling.
Only minor point is the narrow UK-orientation. While illustrating by many practical examples is a very strong point (present as from the first edition), this edition could have been the oportunity to open up to the world.
The fourth edition is certainly a "must-have" for hydrologists and is very useful for teaching.
