| hydroecology and ecohydrology: New Approaches to Hydrological Prediction in Data-sparse Regions Koray K. Yilmaz, 2009 When data are scarce, hydrological predictions become unreliable, mainly due to the inability to specify model components and parameter values that consistently represent the dominant hydrological processes in a particular basin, and also due to the lack of high quality model forcing. This is a problem in developed and developing countries, and the focus of much research worldwide. This proceedings volume, from a symposium of the same name heldin Hyderabad, India, September 2009, contains 40 papers from over 20 countries. They reflect differing aspects of, and approaches to, the problem and are grouped accordingly: Hydrological modelling in poorly gauged and ungauged basins Hydrometeorology and climate change assessment Remote sensing applications in hydrology Characterizing rainfall variability & its impacts on hydrological modelling |
| hydroecology and ecohydrology: River Restoration Bertrand Morandi, Marylise Cottet, Hervé Piégay, 2021-09-20 River Restoration River restoration initiatives are now widespread across the world. The research efforts undertaken to support them are increasingly interdisciplinary, focusing on ecological, chemical, physical as well as societal issues. River Restoration: Political, Social, and Economic Perspectives provides a comprehensive overview of research in the field of river restoration in humanities and the social sciences.

| hydroecology and ecohydrology: Freshwater Biodiversity David Dudgeon, 2020-05-21 Growing human populations and higher demands for water impose increasing impacts and stresses upon freshwater biodiversity. Their combined effects have made these animals more endangered than their terrestrial and marine counterparts. Overuse and contamination of water, overexploitation and overfishing, introduction of alien species, and alteration of natural flow regimes have led to a 'great thinning' and declines in abundance of freshwater animals, a 'great shrinking' in body size with reductions in large species, and a 'great mixing' whereby the spread of introduced species has tended to homogenize previously dissimilar communities in different parts of the world. Climate change and warming temperatures will alter global water availability, and exacerbate the other threat factors. What conservation action is needed to halt or reverse these trends, and preserve freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing world? This book offers the tools and approaches that can be deployed to help conserve freshwater biodiversity. |

| hydroecology and ecohydrology: Forest Hydrology Devendra Amatya, Thomas Williams, Leon Bren, Carmen de Jong, 2016-09-14 Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline forest hydrology has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes. |
| hydroecology and ecohydrology: Hydrology And Water Resources Engineering Dr. N.Ilavarasan, Dr. N. Kayalvizhi, 2023-08-18 It is impossible to understand water circulation without considering the impact of humans. The thirst of humanity is one of many driving forces behind the study of hydrology, but it is by far the most compelling. This book makes an effort to bring together the many physical hydrological processes. Hydrology may be approached from either the engineering or geography disciplines, with the latter’s emphasis on earth science being the more common entry point. The earth science method originates in study of landforms (geomorphology) as well as has a long history of investigating the causes and effects of water’s global circulation. When it comes to the challenges provided by water’s movement (or lack thereof) throughout the planet, engineers take a little more pragmatic approach. Especially when delving into hydrological studies, it may be difficult to disentangle the two because of the extensive overlap between them. The distinction between earth science hydrology and engineering hydrology is most noticeable at the undergraduate level, when earth science hydrology is more descriptive as well as engineering hydrology is more numerate. This book has a more earth-science-oriented perspective due to the author’s background and research interests, although it’s inevitable that there would be some overlap. It is believed that all undergraduate students of the hydrology would find utility in the book, since it contains sections that discuss numerical methods of essential significance to any practising hydrologist, regardless of background. |

| hydroecology and ecohydrology: Mine Water Paul L. Younger, S.A. Banwart, Robert S. Hedin, 2012-12-06 Nowhere is the conflict between economic progress and environmental quality more apparent than in the mineral extraction industries. The latter half of the 20th century saw major advances in the reclamation technologies. However, mine water pollution problems have not been addressed. In many cases, polluted mine water long outlives the life of the mining operation. As the true cost of long-term water treatment responsibilities has become apparent, interest has grown in the technologies that would decrease the production of contaminated water and make its treatment less costly. This is the first book to address the mine water issue head-on. The authors explain the complexities of mine water pollution by reviewing the hydrogeological context of its formation, and provide an up-to-date presentation of prevention and treatment technologies. The book will be a valuable reference for all professionals who encounter polluted mine water on a regular or occasional basis. |
