Compiled by a colleague of the late Dr. Chow and featuring chapter contributions from a “who’s who” of international hydrology experts, Handbook of Applied Hydrology, Second Edition, covers scientific and engineering fundamentals and presents all-new methods, processes, and technologies. Complete details are provided for the full range of ecosystems and models. Advanced chapters look to the future of hydrology, including climate change impacts, extraterrestrial water, social hydrology, and water security.Handbook of Applied Hydrology, Second Edition, covers:• The Fundamentals of Hydrology• Data Collection and Processing• Hydrology Methods• Hydrologic Processes and Modeling• Sediment and Pollutant Transport• Hydrometeorologic and Hydrologic Extremes• Systems Hydrology• Hydrology of Large River and Lake Basins• Applications and Design• The Future of Hydrology

Industrial Hydrology serves as a comprehensive reference designed to bridge the knowledge gap between traditional hydrology and the specific water-related challenges of industrial development. The book serves multiple stakeholders involved in industrial site infrastructure development, including regulatory agencies, hydrologists, pollution control authorities, and those in affected communities. It provides essential knowledge on regulatory requirements for establishing and operating water-dependent industries, with particular focus on environmental flow assessments, water supply regulations, and monitoring of hydro-environmental impacts during construction and operation. This book Addresses the unique hydrological behaviour of industrialized watersheds, which differs significantly from urban, rural, or other watershed categories. Offers practical guidance for conducting hydrological studies in ungauged catchments using regional data and methods.

Calvin King used to lead a normal life with his unmarried mother, and his best friend Joey. On his fifteenth birthday his life goes from normal to...weird. He finds out that his best friend Joey isn't a normal person. From there he is led into an odd and dangerous world, where Calvin, Joey, and Joey's two little twin sisters Megan and Sarah, are off on a hunt for a book that can grant unlimited power.

Operation, Maintenance, and Management of Irrigation Systems serves as a comprehensive guide to irrigation system governance across global contexts, from state-controlled systems in developing countries to privately managed districts in developed nations. The book systematically covers water delivery methods, automation systems, hydraulic structures, drainage principles, equipment maintenance, financial management, and policy frameworks, while addressing modern concerns such as water quality, safety protocols, and wildlife enhancement. It serves as an essential resource for irrigation professionals, agricultural engineers, water resource managers, and policy makers seeking to optimize system performance across diverse geographical and governance environments. Combines engineering principles with socio-economic, managerial, and stakeholder considerations for holistic irrigation system management. Features real-world case studies, advanced automation systems, water delivery methods, hydraulic structures, and maintenance strategies.

A remarkable journey-part pilgrimage, part romantic odyssey-down India's mightiest river, the Ganga. Nishant, a young Indian writer living in Paris, is haunted by the memory of an enigmatic Parisienne who claims to be two persons-Jaya and Nadja. He decides to journey down the Ganges, from its source in the Himalayas to where it meets the sea, with a desire to write about this voyage and his memories of Jaya. On the banks of the Ganga, he meets Zehra, an irresistible dancing girl in the tradition of the great tawaiffs, who performs in a nearby brothel. Zehra resurrects the memory of Jaya. With Jaya and Zehra inhabiting his mind, Nishant undertakes an entrancing journey down the Ganga replete with unexpected encounters with sadhus, boatmen, engineers, vernacular journalists, pimps, administrators, Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, and the omnipresent pandas. When Jaya Ganga was first published in French, it created more than a stir in literary circles. It was hailed as a unique travelogue-novel which brought the author's inner and outer worlds effortlessly together. Jaya Ganga was adapted in cinema in 1995. A cult film today, Jaya Ganga, written and directed by Vijay Singh, played for a record 49 weeks in the UK and France after being screened in 40 other countries.
