First sentence: The use of GIS (geographical information systems) in hydrology and water management has its roots in ideas about the relationship between climate, catchment, channel and society that emerged more than a hundred years ago.
Description: This book deals with the technical problems encountered in hydrological applications of GIS, at scales ranging from the catchment to short river reaches and on a wide range of hydrological processes in both pure and applied contexts.
