Review

'The book covers both traditional and new methods of streamflow data collection. This second edition has preserved the objectives and structure of the first edition. However, the scope has been increased by the addition of material on the hydrometric management of the measurement of flow in pipes and of flow through orifices and sluices. As with the first edition, this book provides hydrologists engaged in hydrometry with the complete reference from which to establish accurate and reliable flow measurement information.' - Hydrological Sciences Journal

'...this book should provide a useful reference for civil engineer, hydrologists...concerned environmentalists from which to secure reliable information about streamflow.' - Environmental Engineering
