Kinematic Wave Modeling in Water Resources

Kinematic wave (KW) modeling methods are gaining wide acceptance as fast and accurate methods for handling a wide range of water modeling problems. This book provides a through reference to the application of KW methods to such problems as the spatial representation of watersheds, overland flow routing, and channel flow routing. Focuses on environmental applications such as subsurface flow, hydraulic conductivity, surface irrigation, snow hydrology, water quality and surface-subsurface flow.
