Hydrology and Floodplain AnalysisNow in its third edition, "Hydrology and Floodplain Analysis" continues to offer a clear and up-to-date presentation of the fundamental concepts and design methods required to understand hydrology and floodplain analysis. It addresses the computational emphasis of modern hydrology and provides a balanced approach to important applications in watershed analysis, floodplain computation, flood control, urban hydrology, stormwater design, and computer modeling. Includes HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, and SWMM models plus GIS and radar rainfall. The text is ideal for students taking an undergraduate or graduate course on hydrology, while the practicing engineer should value the book as a modern reference for hydrologic principles, flood frequency analysis, floodplain analysis, computer simulation, and hydrologic storm water design. Updated coverage in the third edition includes:
