About this Item

Paperback. Appraisal of Hydrological Components Using Soft Computing Techniques provides a detailed account of the various available hydrological components, including precipitation, stream flow, draught, Infiltration, evapotranspiration, etc. The book presents modeling related issues, including over fitting, input variable selection, data separation, and performance evaluation indices. Case studies are also presented to enable a better understanding of how these techniques can be used and worked. The latest data and soft computing techniques for the estimation of hydrological components are also covered, making the content ideal for graduates and researchers in Hydrology, Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering. The hydrological cycle is a very complex phenomenon of continuous movement of water in different forms among the earth and atmosphere. There are several classical models available in literature to solve or estimate different hydrological components, but these classical models are very complex. In the past few decades soft computing-based models have been successfully used for the solution of complex problems in various fields. Through this book precipitation, stream flow, drought, evapotranspiration, humidity, wind speed, infiltration, soil temperature etc. are estimated using soft computing techniques. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
