Frontiers in Hydrology

by Chow Ven Te

This book is the outcome of a memorial tribute to the late Dr. Ven Te Chow which was commissioned by the International Water Resources Association. Dr. Chow s imagination was unlimited, his mind insatiable, his dedication and energy unequaled, yet his manner unassuming. The editors invited authors to contribute their thoughts, experiences, and wealth of knowledge from their association with Dr. Chow.

The book is divided into four sections- -

Section 1- - Physical Hydrology- - Runoff Processes
Section 2- - Statistical Hydrology- - Modeling Processes
Section 3- - Subsurface Hydrology- - Infiltration, Seepage, Groundwater
Section 4- - Hydrology and Water Resources- - Engineering and Planning
