Book description

One of the greatest problems hydrology research faces is how to quantify uncertainty, which is inherent in every hydrological process. This overview of uncertainty emphasizes non-orthodox concepts, such as random fields, fractals and fuzziness. This book reviews alternative and conventional methods of risk and uncertainty representation in hydrology and water resources. The water-related applications discussed in the book pertain to areas of strong interest, such as multifractals and climate change impacts. The authors represent a variety of research backgrounds, achieving a broad subject coverage. The material covered provides an important insight into theories of uncertainty related to the field of hydrology. The book is international in its scope, and will be welcomed by researchers and graduate students of hydrology and water resources.

Reviews

"Atmospheric science students who are not chemists or who do not have an extensive background in chemistry have long needed a primer on the physical chemical aspects of atmospheric (and other environmental) chemical processes. The book under review here mainly succeeds in fulfilling that need." James P. Friend, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
