From time immemorial the Bengal Delta had been an important maritime des- nation for traders from all parts of the world. From the early decades of the second millennium AD, traders from the European con- nent also joined the traders from the Arab countries, who had been the Forerunners in maritime trading with India.

The Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is a recently developed technique used to analyze nonstationary data. These results are compared to the results from the traditional methods such as those based on Fourier transform and other classical statistical tests.

Most importantly, this is the first text in which Copulas are introduced and used in Geophysics.Several topics are fully original, and show how standard models and calculations can be improved by exploiting the opportunities offered by Copulas.

This book provides a collection of the state-of-the-art methodologies and approaches suggested for detecting extremes, trend analysis, accounting for nonstationarities, and uncertainties associated with extreme value analysis in a changing climate.

This book deals with the concept of moments, and how they find application in subsurface hydrologic problems-particularly those dealing with solute transport. Both temporal and spatial moments are dealt with in some detail for a wide variety of problems.

The Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is a recently developed technique used to analyze nonstationary data. These results are compared to the results from the traditional methods such as those based on Fourier transform and other classical statistical tests.

This important book is designed to provide concepts, methodologies, and approaches for river basin studies with respect to water resources and environment. It is not limited to the Yamuna River basin, but will help in the study of various other river basins.

This ground-breaking work is the first to cover the fundamentals of hydrogeophysics from both the hydrogeological and geophysical perspectives. A series of hydrogeophysical case studies illustrate hydrogeophysical approaches for mapping hydrological units, estimation of hydrogeological parameters, and monitoring of hydrogeological processes.

The book presents an overview of the impacts of climatic change/fluctuations on a wide variety of water resources sectors including river runoff, water quality, water temperature, water use and demand, reservoir management and water resource planning and management.

Because of the large and widespread interest in water-rock interaction, the European Union of Geosciences organized a special symposium on "water-rock interaction" at EUGI0, the biannual meeting in Strasbourg 1999 convened by the editors of this volume.

Jaynes about a decade later, applications of the concept of entropy and the principle of maximum entropy have proliterated in science and engineering. Recent years have witnessed a broad range of new and exciting developments in hydrology and water resources using the entropy concept.

Supply of sufficient clean drinking water is often taken for granted, but it requires a considerable technical and financial effort to ensure reliable and economic water supply. This volume presents an up-to-date overview of water supply management and aims at efficient management of water supply schemes rather than design of new works.

I developed the example programs on a Macintosh (TM) using the Macintosh Common LISP (TM) development system capturing screen images while the example programs were executing.

Water is vital to life, maintenance of ecological balance, economic development, and sustenance of civilization. Growing population and expanding economic activities exert increasing demands on water for varied needs--domestic, industrial, agricultural, power generation, navigation, recreation, etc.

This book examines one of the most important and complex of the world's tropical rainforest regions: the greater Panama Canal Watershed.

The transfer across the surface of environmental waters is of interest as an important phase in the geophysical and natural biochemical cycles of numer ous substances;

Stilling basins utili z ing a hydraulic jump for energy dissipation are w i d e l y used in hydraulic engineering . Although w e l l - a c c e p t e d guidelines for a successful design are presently available, the information for the design of such dissipators is not yet compiled in book form .

This book contains the lectures given in the International Course "Improving efficiency and reliability in water supply systems", hosted and sponsored by the Menendez Pelayo International University (U.I.M.P.) and co-sponsored by Aguas de Valencia, the British Council and the EC Cornett and Erasmus programmes.

Contributions from an International Workshop within the framework of International Hydrological Program (IHP) UNESCO, held at Ben-Gurion University, Sede Boker, Israel from 7-12 July 1996

Proceedings from the UIMP International Course held in Valencia, December 1997

At last, integrated management of drought on farms is dealt with in one comprehensive book. Pro-active preparedness entails using the principles of risk management to upgrade the drought resistance of a farm systematically, and to have auxiliary contingency plans at the ready for use during unusually long droughts.

Water is vital to life, maintenance of ecological balance, economic development, and sustenance of civilization. Growing population and expanding economic activities exert increasing demands on water for varied needs--domestic, industrial, agricultural, power generation, navigation, recreation, etc.

The book presents an overview of the impacts of climatic change/fluctuations on a wide variety of water resources sectors including river runoff, water quality, water temperature, water use and demand, reservoir management and water resource planning and management.

This book deals with environmental effects on both sides of the border between Bangladesh and India caused by the Ganges water diversion.

Clustering techniques are used to identify groups of watersheds which have similar flood characteristics. It provides a detailed account of several recently developed clustering techniques, including those based on fuzzy set theory.

"Data-Driven Modeling: Using MATLAB (R) in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering" provides a systematic account of major concepts and methodologies for data-driven models and presents a unified framework that makes the subject more accessible to and applicable for researchers and practitioners.
