Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product. A THOROUGH INTRODUCTION TO ENTROPY THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN HYDROLOGIC SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING This comprehensive volume addresses basic concepts of entropy theory from a hydrologic engineering perspective. The application of these concepts to a wide range of hydrologic engineering problems is discussed in detail. The book is divided into sections--preliminaries, rainfall and evapotranspiration, subsurface flow, surface flow, and environmental considerations. Helpful equations, solutions, tables, and diagrams are included throughout this practical resource. Entropy Theory in Hydrologic Science and Engineering covers: * Introduction to entropy theory * Maximum entropy production principle * Performance measures * Morphological analysis * Evaluation and design of sampling and measurement networks * Precipitation variability * Rainfall frequency distributions * Evaluation of precipitation forecasting schemes * Assessment of potential water resources availability * Evaporation * Infiltration * Soil moisture * Groundwater flow * Rainfall-runoff modeling * Streamflow simulation * Hydrologic frequency analysis * Streamflow forecasting * River flow regime classification * Sediment yield * Eco-index
