Free Downloads Environmental Hydrology, Third Edition
The late Professor Reds Wolman in his Foreword to the award-winning second edition said, "This is not your ordinary textbook. Environmental Hydrology is indeed a textbook, but five elements often found separately combine here in one text to make it different. It is eclectic, practical, in places a handbook, a guide to fieldwork, engagingly personal and occasionally opinionated. … and, perhaps most engaging to me, in places the authors offer personal views as well as more strongly worded opinions. The former often relate to evaluation of alternative approaches, or formulations, of specific solutions to specific hydrologic problems." The first and second editions were bestsellers and the third promises to educate people new to the field of hydrology and challenge professionals alike, with insightful solutions to classical problems as well as trendsetting approaches important to the evolving genre. The third edition enhances materials in the second edition and has expanded information on many topics, in particular, evapotranspiration, soil erosion, two-stage ditch design and applications, and stream processes. What’s New in the Third Edition:Presents new sections on rock structures in streams, hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, and agricultural practices to reduce nutrient discharges into water resourcesEnhances the format to aid the reader in finding tables, figures, and equationsContains more than 370 figures, 120 tables, 260 equations, 100 worked examples, 160 problems, and more than 1000 referencesCollectively, the authors have more than 130 years of international experience and the addition of John Lyon and Suzette Burckhard as co-authors expands the breadth of knowledge presented in this book. More than 60 scientists and engineers in Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United States provided assistance to round out the offerings and ensure applicability to hydrology worldwide.

The third addition of this book adds more on evapotranspiration, erosion, ditch designs and stream processes, Except for the remote sensing aspects of the book, which are very weak, it is not a bad reference book. The main problem I had with it are the strong personal views and opinions which have no place in a textbook. Students do not need to be preached to.There are several other Hydrology books on the market that give the same information, but in a more professional demeanor.
