Hydrology in a Changing World [electronic resource] : Challenges in Modeling /
Singh, Shailesh Kumar.editor.
Dhanya, C.T.editor.
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges in hydrological modeling. Hydrology, on both a local and global scale, has undergone dramatic changes, largely due to variations in climate, population growth and the associated land-use and land-cover changes. Written by experts in the field, the book provides decision-makers with a better understanding of the science, impacts, and consequences of these climate and land-use changes on hydrology. Further, offering insights into how the changing behavior of hydrological processes, related uncertainties and their evolution affect the modeling process, it is of interest for all researchers and practitioners using hydrological modeling.
Recent Advances in the Hydrological Modeling to Incorporate Changing Climate, Land Use, Land Cover Changes and Related Non-stationarities -- Improvements in the Hydrological Model Performance and Related Research -- Advancements in the Parameter Estimation and Uncertainty Quantification in Hydrological Modeling -- Predictability of Hydrological Systems -- Modeling Techniques in Changing Conditions -- Addressing Non-stationarity in Hydrological Modeling Exercises -- Case Studies of Local to Regional Scale -- About the Impact of Changing Climate and Land Use on Hydrology.
