Deterministic Methods in Systems Hydrology: IHE Delft Lecture Note Series

The material in this book was originally written and subsequently revised for students of hydrology from many countries throughout the world attending post-graduate courses at IHE Delft. The objective of the text was two fold - to present the theoretical foundation of the deterministic analysis of hydrological processes at a catchment scale and to compare results obtained when the methods are applied to some data sets appearing in the classical literature of hydrology. The aim of this book is to present a solid foundation of knowledge to promote understanding and to assist the professional hydrologist to make reliable judgements in choosing the approach to complex hydrological problems.
