Features: This book attempts to elaborate on the fundamental theories, technical methods, and practical applications of modern hydrology based on a summary of past research, providing a modern hydrology foundation for water science research. This book is a revised edition that reconstructs the framework of modern hydrology from the perspective of "fundamental theories - technical methods - practical applications." The book is divided into three parts and 13 chapters.
Part I introduces the fundamental theories of modern hydrology, showcasing the new theoretical foundation of modern hydrology, including the principles of the water cycle, deterministic hydrological theory, and stochastic hydrological theory. Part II introduces the new technical methods in modern hydrology, demonstrating the application of these new technologies in hydrology, including 3S technology, isotope technology, hydrological system identification technology, distributed hydrological simulation technology, etc. Part III introduces the practical applications of modern hydrology, showcasing the prospects of hydrology serving human society, including hydrological applications in water resource technology, water resource utilization, ecological environmental protection, and regional sustainable development. This book can serve as a graduate textbook for students in civil engineering, environmental engineering, geological engineering, and earth science, and can also be referenced by teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, and scientific workers in related fields.
