Summary
Using a slightly different definition of distribution elasticity, Esteban proposed a system of distributions some of which are used in hydrologic, hydraulic, environmental, and water resources engineering. This chapter visits the Esteban system of distributions and discusses the hypotheses that are used for deriving distributions of this system.
