Synopsis

This book investigates the causal relationship between rainfall and the runoff of streams, which is influenced by complex factors including rainfall amount and intensity, soil condition, slope, and catchment topography. The author, an established expert in this field of hydrology, presents a comprehensive analysis of rainfall and runoff data from various rivers and streams in the United States, providing valuable insights into the subject. The text highlights the importance of considering the specific characteristics of each stream when estimating runoff, as opposed to relying on generalized formulas. Additionally, the book sheds light on the impact of land-use practices, such as deforestation, on streamflow patterns and emphasizes the significance of understanding the long-term trends and variations in rainfall and runoff to ensure sustainable water resource management.
