Water Resource Modeling and Computational Technologies (Volume 7) (Current Directions in Water Scarcity Research, Volume 7)

Water Resource Modeling and Computational Technologies, Seventh Edition provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of the applications that computational techniques have in various sectors of water resource engineering. The book explores applications of recent modeling and computational techniques in various sectors of water resource engineering, including hydroinformatics, irrigation engineering, climate change, hydrologic forecasting, floods, droughts, image processing, GIS, water quality, aquifer mapping, basin scale modeling, computational fluid dynamics, numerical modeling of surges and groundwater flow, river engineering, optimal reservoir operation, multipurpose projects, and water resource management. As such, this is a must read for hydrologists, civil engineers and water resource managers.

• Presents contributed chapters from global experts in the field of water resources from both a science and engineering perspective
• Includes case studies throughout, providing readers with an opportunity to understand how case specific challenges can help with computational techniques
• Provides basic concepts as well as a literature review on the application of computational techniques in various sectors of water resources
