Features: The book consists of 3 parts and 12 chapters. The first part is an overview, which elaborates on the significance of basin water cycle research, reviews the development history, current research and application status, and main issues of distributed basin hydrological models and land surface process models, and briefly introduces representative models. The second part is the foundation of basin water cycle simulation, which describes the processes of basin water cycle elements and energy exchange and their simulation methods, and introduces the applications of geographic information systems, remote sensing, and digital basin technologies in simulation. The third part provides a detailed introduction to the two models developed by the author over the years—the WEP model and the GBHM model—and their application situations in Japan, South Korea, and China. The final chapter discusses the development trends and application prospects of distributed basin hydrological models. This book can serve as a reference for researchers and university teachers in the fields of hydrology and water resources, as well as graduate students in related disciplines, and technical personnel engaged in water conservancy engineering or environmental engineering planning and management.
